Ok so a buddy if mine just picked up a open bow commander boat. A short section of the stringer is rotten from the motor mounts holes. My question is it ok to replace a small section of the stringer as Long as the 2 pieces are spliced together well. Thus is not a high horse power boat stock bbc with a berkley E pump. Thanks for the input

Here's the issue I have.

To just scab a piece of new material in a rotted section is asking for issues down the road.

To do this repair,  the engine needs come out,  the bad wood removed, new wood fitted, pinned, fiberglass,  grinding, painting,  reinstall the engine, drill new holes Yada Yada blah blah blah.

The work description is identical to replace the whole thing. Just a bit more in materials and prep time.

Why just wash the ass of the underwear when it takes very little to complete the job?..
JMHO

The boat is full length stringers the only thing is it looks like the top half of the boat would need to be removed to replace the hole stringers it's a 88 commander  21' open bow

I think....you mean the floor.
Floor has to be romoved to access stringers.
It's a job for sure....especially for just 1 or part of one stringer.

Hi does anyone know how to clean out fiberglass tanks?
