Re: Anybody used plastics for stringers, floors or transoms?
Good point Old Carver, the poly lay-ups would last even longer if they where done properly. In my 22 year old boat (I won't mention the name, but it starts with a "B" and ends with an "AYLINER") I found edges of plywood that were never touched by resin (good ole' mass production). The wood that was sealed properly still looked like brand new lumber. I don't think that people should have any worries about using regular poly as long as you take the time to cover every molecule of wood with glass and resin.
