Hi everyone,
I’m brand new to boating. Due to my lack of experience I bought a 17t Red Fin center console with a soft deck. Fortunately I’m pretty decent when it comes to handiwork. After removing the deck this is what I found (pics below). The wood isn’t perfect by any means but seems to be okay? I believe the real problem is the top of the fiberglass is delaminating. I'm not looking for a perfect boat just something I can use for fishing a dozen times a year. Would this be repairable without replacing the entire stringer or am I better off cutting my losses? Any opinions or advice would be appreciated!
