we arent going to touch the stringers, but there will be floor joists running the length of the boat.

Well i just got the boat back from the boat shop over the weekend.
I bit the bullet and sent it out to have the floor and support joists installed and glassed. The boat has been sitting on the trailer for about 2 seasons .
The shop was worried the floor and supports cut out for so long.

There was a good sized hook in bottom of boat on the left rear...the shop used bottle jacks and weights to straiten up the bottom.
my boat is only a quarter stringer boat...the shop ground down the floor fiberglass and rebuilt the floor supports glassed in the supports, boxed in the ski locker and all new 9 layer 3/4 plywood glassed and sealed.
1400.00 and 3 1/2 weeks to get it back.
