Really cool boat it has a finned caddy look to it, floor totally gone 3 stringers gone also. Anyone ever use truck bedliner to encapsulate wood stringers ? just a thought.. Anyways how structural are the stringers/flooring. How hard is the reglassing i hear about? thanks lots of help needed in near future..

if you are curious as to what the stringers look like, you can check out my project. Granted it's 7 years newer. However, it looks like they built your boat better than mine....the backside of my transom had no glass, just bilgecoat. I can only assume Glastron was looking for ways to build a cheaper boat in the 70's.
