Thanks Peter. What I mean are the decks and mostly the transom. Most boats built in this era have wood in the transom which failed badly. Are you sure the stringers aren't wood. I thought I saw a project on this site and the boat had wood stringers. I just feel that laying out $20,000 to rehab a 60's or 70's and some 80's is alot $.
I'd would want a finished product that would last me to the end of my days.
