hi everyone, just verified the rear portion of the stringers on my 88 procraft 1950v are rotted. i never did any repairs like this before and have a couple of questions. do you have to take the top of the boat off to repair or will cutting out the deck give you enough access? also the boat has a large splashwell that looks to be connected to the transom from the inside.so if i had to remove the top how is that done? just the rear of the system is rotted as far as i can tell,is it possible to replace this portion only? last thing is what kind of wood and resins and matt to use? oh and the transom seems to be ok. but i cant see how just straight plywood is in there because the rear of the boat is not flat but has contors and shapes to it. is there wood all through the transom or just in the middle? all the transom repairs i seen on this forum are flat transoms not like a bass boat.
