Makes sense. I just wanted to be sure I didn’t leave something that is going to eventually make things troublesome from the inside out if I can help it. Getting the wood out was pretty easy from the side once I saw it from the grinding. Getting it out from the top proves to be much harder.
I ran an inspection camera around in the stringers beside the wood and they all look decent. As I mentioned the wood I DID run across exposed was wet so it came out in the big slices you see in the pictures.
Raising the height of the stringers is really what I am after to get back to the deck height. Before I took the foam board out, it was raised 3 inches or so. No liner in my boat so I can really go back at almost any height. Original plan before the wood was Coosa on top of the stringers and glass it all in. Others had mentioned maybe easier just building forms around the stringers and using a 4 or 8 lb foam to bring everything to final height.
Trying to make decisions before ordering what I need. Thanks so much for everyone’s insight.
