SO ive decided to do a full restore on my 1982 sportcraft, The floor was a little soft and when i ripped it up found wet form(not alot) wet stringers not rotted, and seem to be a wet transom, So i figured get it all out and start fresh and have a boat that will last, Im new to boat resoration so figured I would post on here for help.
So far I have ripped out the floor removed bumper rail. Next step is to remove cap and remove all form and cut down stringers.
How far should i cut down stringers?
If part of the stringers are good can i leave?
Will removing the cap allow the hull to expand?

Here are some progress pics, The stringers are very deep and the foam was actually glassed down so its been a strugle getting it out but section by section is goin, The transome is soft and rotted but should come out easy. when I cut out the stringers should I leave a little lip ?
