Re: 1984 23 floor project
It looks like who ever replaced the original floor filled the boat with foam. You technically do not have a bilge in that boat. In my opinion this is too much foam. Water will eventually find it's way into the foam and stay trapped in there and then you will have a water logged boat much like the old whalers. They even filled the raceways (seen in the second pic). Dig out some of that foam so you at least have a bilge and then replace the floor like you have described by building up the stringers and you will be fine.
