I have to concur. That is one of the finest V20's I have seen. You should be very proud. That thing is good for another 30 years.

How did you measure to make sure that the stringers went back in the same place and height?

Thanks for all the kind words fellas! I had never been so nervous as that first trip back to the ramp. I've had her out about a dozen times now including twice about 50 miles offshore so its like old times. Even got a small scratch that didnt bother me. When not in the water I found a great covered storage area

I ran strings through marked holes in the hull from the rub rail screws. I numbered the holes and wrote down the measurement from the edge of the hull to centerline of the stringer and the distance below the string to the top of stringer. I had other measurements but those were what I trusted the most. Most important thing was the outside to outside measurement of the hull to make sure the hull itself didn't "relax."

There is a picture in this thread of all the strings
