Im not as far along as I would like to be ran into many snags. I think I can still get it done with some time to play on it before I head back home. We will see. Id resize the pic and put them in but not at this time.
Just a few observations.
One the stringers were never sealed to the hull under the stern cross member. Leaving a 6" x 1" gap, in the lowest part of the boat, into the stringer foam and WOOD.
Did I say wood! yes another point. There were 1/4 x 8 " pieces of plywood on the inside of the inner part of the both stringers. With only 1 bad mat glass coating. Yes stringers wood and foam were soaked.
Point 3, as you might notice in some of the early pics of the stringers there is a white substance on the top. Some patterns are circles. Well the stringers were cut to have the foam poured in them. Instead of glassing it in they used a white cement like substance. Well all the holes were coverd in it but the one that was left on coverd just a hole and foam.
Lastly we had noticed over the years a flex in the boat in the bow port area. There was a glassed 4"x 1/2" plywood cross member that was the only support between stringers. The port side had seperated from the stringer.
On the good side looks like the transome is solid. I am still putting an aluminum cap and plate on it just because its a good idea and the guy next to me at the marina gave me one! Slight alterations only to fit it.
All items are being rectified in the rebuild.
