I finally had some time to spend with the boat. I started exploring by removing the floor under the dash and discovered very wet balsa. No surprise!

I finally had some free time so I decided to take a run at the floor. I removed most of the floor except the section directly on top of the stringers. Image
I discovered that the stringers appear to be made of only fibreglass. There isn't any wood - as far as I can see. The stringers are basically "L" shaped fibreglass.
Image
Here is a close up of the end of the stringers.

Has anyone seen this before?

That is a box stringer, cut off and remove the core in the pad area.

Keep up the good progress and keep the pictures coming. I'm just sitting back and watching for now. If you have any questions, I've already been there. How's the itchy arms? Bill
