    removed floor and stringers

    I removed the floor and stringers today. What a rotten mess. Stringers were not encapsulated, and one stringer was butted together by the engine mount. This boat had new stringers and floor put in about 8 years ago. A very poor job. http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k94/mtnrat/P1020106.jpg...
