Otto,
Thanks, I figured that this was going to be an extensive project. but one well worth the efforts, do you know of the best way to get the deck off of the hull?

Determine the depth of your floor, set your circular saw for that and cut it.

Meads,

There is nothing wrong with the stringers. They're fiberglass, and won't rot out. Don't fool with the floor either unless it's soft or mushy. Fix the problems you find, but don't go looking for trouble. If you need to replace the transom, that would be a lot of work by itself.

Any pictures?

I dont have any pictures but i can get some, the deck is pretty solid, no soft spots. is that how you tell if the stingers need work?
