No I did not have any manuals. Whats the best way to check the stringers. Besides the four supoort pieces for the floor, they were rotted out, the stringers seem ok. It's covered in fiberglass so when I take my hammer and bound on it they seem ok. Where can I get manuals for a 1987?

You can find the OMC shop manuel on ebay. Drill a small pilot hole into the stringers. If you find rot, & you probably will, they're shot. Do the same on the transom. By the way, danond has an excellent post here on how he replaced the transom in his Starcraft. Check it out.

What you have done so far looks awesome. Been there done that, but I had to pay a lot for the boat...LOL Now is really the fun part. When you start getting the floor back in and looking like a boat again. And the pride of doing it yourself. It will come together faster than you think. Keep up the great work.
