Hello,
I am working on my Larson Tri Hull and I have torn out parts of the deck to get an idea of what I need to replace the stringers and deck.

The stringers lay horizontial to the deck and are supported by foam. I am unsure of how to replace them in their original configuration. I also question how effective they are at stiffening the hull since they dont seem to attach except at the edge of the bilge?
I am attaching diagram of the hull and stringer placement.
I would also like some advice on removing the deck. I removed a portion of the rub rail and I cant see a defined seam. I tried pushing a chisel into the ridge under the rail but it felt pretty firm. Should I cut it with a Sawsall?
Thanks,
Tim
