next on the list is the center stringer. One of the first things I did to this boat was run a piece of 6" 1708 down the middle after getting out the old center stringer. This is a very poor lamination, it was hot out and the resin kicked fast. Plus it was polyester. I think I'm going to grind out the piece I put in and re-do it. The reason for it was because there was a leak somewhere in the center. There is an old repair to deal with that was poorly done from underneath. I knew it was leaking because water was dripping out when the hull had some rainwater in it when I first got it. I think I'll put in an 8" piece of the 2408 I have down after I grind out that polyester crap. Then bed the piece of wood in vinyl/milled fibers and put 2 layers of glass over the wood. Does that sound like a good plan?
