Well the transom is officially part of the boat and looks great. time to start the floor pics will be up soon

thanks alot for all of your help... today i layed my last layer of fiberglass on the back of the boat and am getting ready to get out and sand it... then time to start on the inside then stringers / floor i will post pics soon

[quote="ConFuseee"] what would be the result if i were to leave it as it is[/quote]

Serious injury or death.

The pad is where the core is most rotten, frequently, the balsa is missing entirely. The area where the hull is under the most stress, is from the transom to about 4 feet foward, about 30 inches wide.

The problem with not replaceing the stringers .First you probly have rot on the bottum of the stringers you cant see caused by the old rotten core second the wood has lifed in a harse enviroment it hole life and if it isnt rotten it probly has lost its strength or could be dry rotted plus you already have it exposed so why not fix it right so you dont have to open her up again and if it has been out in the rain all summer it well have water in it would be my bet your so close alittle more itchy scratchy and it well all be out :up: . In the long run it way worth replacing it all the right way stick with her and you well be rewarded in the end with a boat that wasnt made with a cookie cut a.k.a rinker bayliner crownline searay you get the picture. Grind on my young friend grind on if you need some insperation Judas Preist has a song called grinder you could jam while you grind

Would there actually be a point in me doing that? because my stringers are good, no floor is going to be touching that part, i'm still gonna do it anyways but what would be the result if i were to leave it as it is

I see what your talking about now, it's maybe because i sanded it close to a year ago and it has sat outside getting rained on and everything but i will be sure to get that grinded also. Thank you
