New member, just bought a 1984 Valero V bottom, just starting to restore. Floor completely delaminated, transom soft, assuming stringers and core will need to be done as well. Exterior wasn’t in bad shape after a lot of buffing to get rid of the oxidation, minimal spider/stress cracks and the majority of the interior was there. Question for all, mine has foam next to the stringers that I’ve never seen before, completely water logged. There is also a wood “cap” over the stringers I’ve never seen ? Has anyone seen this kind of construction before?
