Good afternoon everyone, my name is Stephen. Recently I have purchased an '87 mid V 222. Just starting the restoration process. I'm glad I found this site and have not yet to begin to research all the info I need. Mainly, I want to redo my deck and stringers. I have had a hard time finding specs on any older aqua models and I'm sure all the information is on this site. To begin my project, I have replaced the original gas tank, new lines, enclosed the transom and re powered. Of anyone has the information or who to contact about pre-fab stringers for this model, it would be much appreciated. There is a company out there that I have been informed about that prefabricates stringers for this model, I'm just not sure who it is. Below is a pic of my beloved triple deuce. She has a few soft spots in the deck, but she's pretty sound overall. Went with raymarine electronics and have been thrilled. A78 with cp100 and cp200 transducers work wonderfully !

Hi Stephen, you mentioned a picture?
As for Stringers. if you carefully cut out the stringers you have you can use a cheap drop cloth to cover them and then use them as the mold.  Or build them from scratch using a cheap mold that you build, like I did - was pretty easy.

Here's a pic! Sorry it wouldn't load yesterday. I won't begin the deck and stringers for another year or two. I need to save the funds. I'll post a few more pics as time goes on! If anyone needs any tips on re canvassing your t-top or anything let me know! There's other ways to do it yourself and save money!
