I want to update this thread so others can learn from my research obtained both here on CSC, on THT as well as some text messages.

I finally settled on raising the stringers 2.5" with the Nidacore floor adding another 1" above the stringer elevation. All said and told, this will put the new floor 3.5" above the historic waterline of this hull while at rest.

At current, the stringer have been raised and the divinycell. The 2.5" sections of divinycell were bonded to the old stringers with Arjay 4001 adhesive putty. As I type this, it is drying. Later I will round the edges and wrap in CSM and 1708 biaxial fiberglass and adhere to the old stringers.

In the course of two weeks and since obtaining the 1971 SeaCraft SF, the hull has been stripped of the liner and the old transom; the cap has been removed. A new transom has been installed and glassed into place, balsa coring installed on the sides of the hull (above the waterline only) and stringers raised.

Thanks to everyone for your help especially Ole (Parker Yachts), Robert at Calcutta, Parrott, Tunatango (BillyTheKid), Aaron T. and Grady
