Default Re: stringer problem

Hayden, I have a 23' Seacraft so I am not familiar with your particular boat but you may want to look at the stringers a little closer before you start cutting the deck out. You need to try to determine if the hull is actually working enough to crack the glass or if it's just the gelcoat cracking. Its not too unusual for the chines to be beat up from grounding, careless loading on the trailer, etc. If the stringers are actually moving you will often see cracks along the lifting strakes on the bottom. Do you know if the local shops are familiar with the seacrafts. The reason I'm asking is alot of bass boats and cheaper boats used stringers that were nothing more than 3/4 " plywood on edge with a layer of 1.5 oz mat over it.
