Starting a new/first time rebuild

[chevymaher]

I have 3 threads on my exact same boat I studied before I tore into mine. They all were completely different as far as what was under the deck, stringer and bulkhead wise. So it obviously isnt that critical exactly what it was. I seen one boat the bulkheads went completely side to side. Mine had no such animal. Just between the 2 main stringers. And it used 3/4 plywood from the stringer to the side as bracing for that area.

But usually they are a vee shape at the bottom. If it is sealed and has floatation all the way to the bottom. If there was no foam I see a drain along the bottom in the middle on those boats.

Best is to hunt restoration threads and look and find a stringer system similar to yours.

If you upload your pics to imagur.com, it gives you a direct link that you can use in the forum, then your pics will show in the thread instead of links.

Pictures loaded directly to the site can also be inserted into the thread. I ended up doing this when Photobucket attempted to hijack us.

Looks about like mine did. Sitting outside for 20 years will do that.
