27' SeaMaster, Wood Stringer

[Islandtrader]

The strength is not in the wood stringer, but the glass that surrounds the wood. The wood was just used as the core...all the wood could be rotten, but as long as the fiberglass that surrounds the wood is not separating or flexible the stringer is good...If some flex, just glass over the old stringer and you should be good to go.
