Re: stringer pieces in place.
On an 18' I would retain the liner because you already have a gunnel cap that overhangs it. In my 20' there was no overhang, thus no capacity to hang rods underneath. I think in your situation you could cut just the floor out, raise the stringers (very smart) and then put a new/higher floor in.
I considered doing this to my SC18' before I went the complete redo route with my 20'. Those 18's are nice boats [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
