Cut her open today to see just how bad the rot is. Looks like it's just the first six feet from the transom.

The stringers are mahogany.

WOW!!! Kool Boat. If she were mine I'd go 2ft into good wood, Create a 1/2 lap joint, epoxy in a new piece and re-Glass. Check the other stringer too.

No worries about doing both sides. She has a beast of a motor that would stress a stock healthy stringer. The starboard engine mount used to come loose with an hour or two of use.
