I took out the back hatch and saw a crack between the starboard stringer and the first bulk head. The were glassed together. The top of the stringer had been cut down about 3" to run a fuel line over it which exposed the wood. I could pull out muddy chunks of wood.

But today i took a grinder and cut the inside fiberglass skin off of the stringers and have been cleaning totaly saturated wood out of both stringers. Nasty job but the best part is the transom is solid, and I have all the wood out now I'm goin in for the clean up of all the water and remaining mud. Thinking about relacing with something besides wood.
