I have a 71 Silverline and the floor and stringers are rotten. I have read several posts on here about how to repair them and I am leaning towards seacast at the moment as I would prefer a permanent repair. Has anyone ever tried using Trex decking as replacement stringers? It is a wood/plastic composite that is completely waterproof and never rots. I am also considering using 3/8 to 1/2 plastic squares for the floors. It is harder than wood and also will never rot. Both these items can be had at building material liquidators for a resonable price.
Another question I have is a see alot of talk about foam. My boat has five stringers and maybe a foot between each one and does not have foam. Is it necessary to fill the void w foam?
