No real thoughts on the stringers, since I've never had to do mine. But I did the floor on my V21 when I got it. I used 1/2 Marine ply, bonded to the bottom of the deck, then I glassed over the ply with 2 thin coats of fiberglass to seal the wood so it would never rot again. (Something that Wellcraft should have done in the first place).
Tip: once you are finished with all your work, the trick is to keep the inside of the boat DRY! That means no water in the bilge, etc. Seal all areas where water can intrude, including your rod holders, any penetrations, and your rod racks. And come winter time, open all hatches and allow air to circulate and dry out any water or condensation that might have gotten in there. Water plus air is the enemy of all wood. Seal your wood and your boat should have a nice long life.
