rotten stringers
Just bought 1979 V20,rebuilt transom, noticed stringers in back end are hollow.Deck is solid but am wondering if I need to tear into to replace stringers. After a day at sea I always find small pieces of rotten wood in bildge. Do I need to worry about this.Put on 98 150 MERC mix 50-1 boat does 44mph on gps at 5200 rpm. Also have wet foam around aluminum fuel tank, soaked about half inch on top I'm sure bottom and sides are soaked through. Tank is fine so far am wondering how much extra weight I'm packing around. I will post pics when my daughter gets home I just turned 60 and this is about my limit on computers.
