Building upon bad repairs of rotten bones WILL be something you regret sooner than you'd think...
My advice: and this is for your own good... do it right or sell it and get one that doesn't need repair.... It hurts now but you'll thank me later.

I completely agree with smoke, i had a 24 sea ox just like MJs old ox. I half assed the stringer repair and floor repair and regret every moment of it. Its worth doing it right the first time. you can bore test those stringers with a 1/8 or 3/16 drill bit, If wood shavings comes out your ok if dirt comes out there shot and will need replacing. good luck on your project and we are all here to help.
