whats up tex....first off welcome. and in regards to your question about replacing stringers....i would suggest you use the search box in the upper right hand corner of this site and i guarantee you that you will find what you are looking for. there are quite a few people on here that have replaced there stringers and have taken alot of pics while doing it. so i guess you can say kinda like a how to.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

i am a mechanic, also and sorry but i have to agree with the last guy!  it would be like buying a car with the frame rusted out!!! you can always get another frame but the amount of work to put it in is... well just buy a better car.
