« Last post by RickK on Today at 02:19:41 PM »Ouch, can you see the damage from the outside? I think it's an easy repair but will require some grinding (ugh) The other option for the stringers is to rip them out and build new ones, then you know they'll last. I did that in my 170 rebuild. You only need fiberglass cloth, 1708, resin and a homemade mold.
Heres a few pics from my rebuild:
Stringers out, hull inside ground and new 1708 over entire hull
New stringers
Stringers scribed to hull and set in place
Held in place
27 gal fuel tank notched in with room for expansion
Tabbed in and later tacked in place
This is the tank I bought at Marine Surplus in Bradenton FL. They have a web page
This will get you in the middle of the stringer stuff
