Does this look like a poor stringer job??

[mattymuch]

I have no interest in purchasing this boat, but was just cruising craigslist and found this Larson says stringer replacement but doesnt look like alot of the stringer jobs i have seen on here

Thoughts? http://westernmass.craigslist.org/boa/5705871330.html

Looks like a very nice stringer job. No way of knowing if they foam filled the spaces, should have poured it or stuffed foam blocks in there. The glass work looks incredible. No way of knowing how many layers from the photos, but the woodwork and bedding is absolutely beautiful.

Looks like a very well done job but as mentioned flotation foam would be good to know if it had. Bedding looks amazing though much better than I did on my transom.

Some really nice work. I used fiberglass laminated plywood on my Bayliner which knitted in to the o.e.m. Work extremely well. These fiberglass layered plywood panels actually were salvaged from older 28' pup trailers. They make excellent floor repairs if you can find them, and will last forever. Has anyone posted using these panels in a project before? Just curious.

Looks like a very nice stringer job to me. Usually they don't look that good. JMHO

Probably an iBoater ;-)

Wish mine looked that good.

Looks better than mine, of course I cant find the pics of the tabbing in at the moment.

The fab work looks great .... Wonder what the layup is and is it poly of epoxy ... The deck just looks like resin rolled on ... Did they glass the underside of the deck ? Looking at the last pic I do see some tabbing to the side of the hull ...

If it's epoxy he did an OK job, but not great, if it's polyester it was a total waste of time and money. I shouldn't say total waste, just the resin used on the plywood, it will do nothing to help preserve the wood without glass.

If you zoom in on pic 12 it looks like he just resin'ed the boards and screwed them in. Look at the knots on the rear left panel and the wood grain on the middle right panel. Maybe I'm wrong though.

He definitely didn't tape the boards together though right?

How does a '95 get bad floors if it's shrink wrapped and cared for like he says? A leak somewhere?

I'm guessing those repairs are prior to the seller buying it or he wouldn't say it was a worry free boat. Stringer replacement is definition of what you worry about.
Rot tends to happen over a period of time not just one bad storage year....delamination can happen quick but full on rot seems to me someone neglected it and he got it re done and appropriately stored it but is now selling it if I'm reading between the lines.

Were transom and motor mounts (not sure if this boat has stringer-based motor mounts) redone?
