Leak at stringer

[Billybob]

Hey Hooper - I'm curious about this too, since mine's a 73 and I'm not one for looking for trouble. So stringers are something I haven't even looked into, because I've had no reason. When you say where the stringer meets the transom, what do you mean? Where's the water coming from, did the outer hull crack and allow water in.To me, this seems important becuase it implies that an outer skin had to be compromised,and knowing exactly how and where should point to the problem.If somehow the bond between stringer/transom broke loose and allowed a flexing that cracked the skin, then it may not be rot,they say that the glass around the wood is the strength of the system, and the wood the form.Anyway - describe the source of the intrusion,because I haven't heard of this one before.
