I say lift the liner...repair the sole ( floor core) from the bottom side..remove rotted stringers(grid) and replace with marine ply or comparible material and layup with resin.i built my boat with poly resin and have beat the crap out of it and it is soli as a rock. Im not gonna sugar coat it for you..its a long row to hoe but its so freaking worth. What ever you decide we are all here to help.

there are so many really good designs that were horribly built. companies hire help as cheap as they can and when they have a hot seller they they hire those guys buddies and cousins and push them out the door as fast as they can. the shop motto quickly becomes "cant see it from my house", but in spanish. thats why hi dollar boats are almost always of much better quality, youre paying for craftsman and a good quality control program.

my boats definitely get beat to hell. we dont get big seas here in my part of the gulf, but 2-3 footers 3-5 seconds apart is a rough wet ride. and running anywhwere from 6 miles to cat, 10-20 miles to the marsh or 40 miles to chandelieur... i am a bitnervous bout seacast or arjay. but the time it saves makes me wanna believe in it. my ole lady is not exactly onboard with this project. so when i get started i gotta be working faster than a pack of kenyans on crystal meth
