<br /><br />Stringers are the struts that run lengthwise, bow-to-stern . Bulkheads are the struts that run port-to-starboard. They just call them that, because on a large ship, that's what internal wall structures are called.<br />Bayliner missed the boat by skimping on glass. They only glass-up half the way up on the bulkheads,and dont bother to even coat the underside of the decking. They sit in the sun and water in the bilge (even a small amount),turns into a cloud of moisture, and the deck rots form the under side up.<br />It's what seperates Bayliner from so-called "better" boats...All over 15 buks worth of fiberglass.
