[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 4614618, member: 19427"] Stringers can also be an issue in older glass boats. Before moving to TN, I used to buy up every old Morgan I could find in Florida and would pay to have them completely rebuilt. Stringers, deck, transom, the whole deal. These were the boats that were used to haul pot through the Everglades in the 80s and a favorite among commercial fisherman. They were a 24’ center console that you could really put a lot of weight in and also run them comfortably in a foot of water. I’ll admit none of them were garage kept but every single one needed all of the wood removed and replaced with modern Coosa board which is lighter and doesn’t rot. [/QUOTE]
