Questions

I currently own the same hull with a different motor (Mercruiser 888 with the Ford 302) and ran across your add while doing some research for some pending repairs. I'm not interested in buying your boat but I'm hoping you have a minute to answer a question about your restoration.

The resin covering the floor and stringers in my engine compartment is starting to crack and I'm going to need to do some repairs. My question is about the stringers that the motor mounts to. Are they wood covered in fiberglass or is the core made of some other material?

Thanks for your time and looks like you did a great job of restoring your boat.
