[dreamer]

Hi guys, been following the site for a long time, been a SeaCraft addict much longer, just joined recently. Owned several over the years and built/re-built most of those, so I'm not new to the addicition many of us have.

I just finished gutting my most recent project. It was 1970 20' I/O, it's now an empty hull. Once apart I realized the stringers are completely hollow.
I can tell the rear portion of the stringers (where the original motor mounts were) had wood that has rotted away.

My question is, would the original stringer system been hollow, or is it more likely they were completely wood and have totally disenigrated?

Thanks in advance
