"please excuse my lack of naut
"please excuse my lack of nautical engineering terms. i think stringers run the lenght of the boat. what i pulled out was made out of a 2x6 at least. i chose mohogany because i thought it best. this is the second transom i have done. the last one did not need stringers. i think back to how i did that that one. i only want to improve on that job. this is not the first time i was told plywood was good enoulf. the guy who fixed the carbs on my 78 50hp outboard merc o/b says exterior grade ply is good enoulf. he sells used boats. i work at a use car lot. i plan on keeping this one. im 34 now i dont want to do this again when i am 65. i think if i was going to sell this one, it might not require marine grade materels. but for this boat i want only the best. that is why im going out of the way to repower with small block chevy and mercruiser.
let me know what you think? mike"
