Re: Leak at stringer
Hooper,
I'm a southern seacraft owner, but I grew up on, and I mean on the Great Lakes. If water penetrates wood or foam coaring, and then freezes, it will crack something for sure. I saw alot of boats with leaks in them when they were brought out in the spring. Usually they crack around the corners, not on the flat areas. Even if you fix the leak, if the stringer/transom is wet, and it freezes in the winter, you could have the same problem occur again.
