Engine Swap

Would hope one doesnt off load a known structurally unsound boat as you surely can attest to what that is like on the receiving end

It'll definitely be put through it's paces before selling. I can assure that.

As for the stringers, I'm not sure. It's a fiberglass floor boat. I don't see any obvious stringers in the construction at all, compared to the bad hull boat I have. I believe it may be an all fiberglass construction. I'm gonna have one of the guys from work come take a look at it before I accidentally put a hole through it thinking there's a stringer there.

There will certainly be some type of stringers below the floor.
There are stringers on either side of the engine that support the engine mounts. Depending on year and construction there may be wood stringers or they may be wood free. Floors may have a wood core. My 2003 sea ray has non wood stringers but there is ply in the transom.

Best bet is to speak with boat manufacturer And find out whats there. Most effective way is to drill into the transom and stringers to see if wood core And if wood is rotted.
