Re: rot strngers

Sounds like you are talking about the engine mount rails if so you are asking for trouble if you didn't replace them. While you had the floor out you needed to replace "all" the rotted stringer and crossmembers and engine mounts, i know it's a lot of extra work but it will stop hull flex and possible cracking, have you got a picture of what you are talking about?

Hi serch305,<br /><br />A few free picture hosting sites around. All you need to do is register, upload your pictures to the site and then include the picture (from the hosting site) into your i-boats post. Does that make sense? I didn't to me the first time but once you've got it sorted you will feel like a kid in a candy store.<br /><br />I use this one:<br /><br /> http://photobucket.com/ <br /><br /><br />Member ZmOz is also offering free hosting I think?<br /><br />Aldo

Re: rot strngers

serch305,<br /><br />I got your e-mailed pics and the link is working o/k. I don't need to post them because you got your own link working. <br /><br />I can't help you with your boat problem but if you reply to your own post it will move the topic to the top of the page and somebody with more knowledge than me will see it and help you. Good luck.<br /><br />Aldo
