Hello all.. After talking to everyone i have decided to restring my 1974 fibreform boat.. I was reading threads and am a bit confused.. My boat from the hull to the floor board is may 3 ft high at the back... the stringer at the rear where the motor is bolted to is totally encased in fibreglass and looks to be originally approx 6 inchs wide by 4 inchs deep.(three two by fours would fit in nicely side by side).. I have cut some of the rest of the boat away and the rest of the stringer is 2 two by fours together not totally encased in fibreglass.In fact right at the bow there is no fibreglass except on one side(where the stringer runs tight beside the main floor support.Its looks like two by fours were in it but there is mention of wood rot as well as using ply... What would you use on a 24 ft boat,2x4s or plywood laminated? And would you encase totally in fibreglass? once again thanks guys i will try and post some photos soon..
