Thanks! The owner I bought it from raised the floor and stringers himself. He said he left the underside of the sole uncovered so it could breath (dry out). He said he used high quality fiberglass and not wood for the stringers. But upon inspection, it looks like he fiberglassed in some pressure treated 2x8 boards on top of the stringers. I can't really be 100% sure, but it looks like wood where the saw cut through the top of the stringers. The wood you see in the pictures is from the bottom of the plywood, so it could be all fiberglass stringers. He said he raised the floor 6 inches, which seems like a lot, but the end result looks like it worked out OK. He said he had to raise it that much, so it would be a flat floor all the way to the front.
I will post pictures he gave me of the orginal work done in 2007. The pix were included as part of the sale, at my request. Since I already knew I'd probably be posting here... I mean... It's a Potter built hull... You gotta have the rebuild pix!
