... I don't think they ever had wood in the stringers.
Tracker was foolish enough to put plywood-cored stringers in some of the 23's beginning in '87 or '88, I'm not sure I remember correctly. But we repaired a 23' Walkaround that had been hit by a 21' Scarab going 40+ mph in the dark. We had to repair the aft port hull to transom corner, and the stringers in that Tracker SeaCraft were cored with 3/4" plywood. I was absolutely shocked, as I knew about the hollow fiberglass stringers that were part of the SeaCraft mystique.
