Another update, after probing and banging on the stringers guess what I found, rotten stringers. I started to dig out one its not plywood looks like its 3/4X8" pine, hard to tell what type of wood as what was left was wet and dark. Anyway I have a lot more work in store for me than planned. I don't know how much I can do as winter is almost here. I may shrink wrap it and try to work under the wrap. Dennis

Well its cold in NY now and repairs of the stringers will have to wait till early spring. I did my first shrink wrap job yesterday, just to let you all know its not very hard to do. It was a windy day so my son had to help me, it took about 3 hours to do. Now for the price of a do it yourself job, for $160.00 I got a roll 14' X 128' of white wrap, roll of tape, 1500' roll of binding, 6 plastic vents and 4 gas vent caps. I was going to order it off the web but shipping was to high. I found a place that sold the materials close to me and picked it up myself. As for the heat torch I ordered one from Harbor Frieght for $28.00 a weed burner and it work great the hose is only 6' long and the wand from handle to torch is about 2' but it worked well enought for us. There are 3 of us with boats to wrap so the price will be split. Dennis

Man, I hate to hear that about your stringers, I had to replace some of mine also. I used juniper and cypress boards that I had stored away. After talking to some boat builders at Carolina Classic I kinda wished I'd used Douglas Fir. It seems to be a good choice for wood core projects. I used 3/4 marine plywood for my new transom and transom cap. I encased it all in polyester resin and glass and its holding up very well! Good luck with yours!!
