You guys sure do things differently back there.  Diff strokes I guess.   Be sure to keep updating us on how the project is coming along, we love do it yourselfers.

Does anybody know if this is a 1/4 stringer boat?

From the pictures there is no way to tell. If you take pictures of the inside of the hull we might be able to tell.

by the way welcome  :thumbs up:
are your stringers rotten? if yes i would think it would be easier and less time just because your not doing full length of the boat. i need to do mine too.

you know i'm not sure. when i changed my center stringer and floor i removed the motor and left the hull on the trailer. my 1/4 stringers look to be 2" x 5.5" and i had a sanger with full stringers that looked like 1" x 5.5". with full length maybe they don't need to be as thick. maybe someone that knows more else will chime in. i'll be watching your thread. good luck.
