Has anyone heard of stringers made of outer layers of plywood, say 1/2" thk each side, with a layer of rigid foam board epoxied in between then capped on top and fibreglassed over to secure to hull?
I'm looking for the best method for replacing my boat stringers without all the weight. I have also heard that the foam board is easier to shape to the hull contour than solid wood. Once shaped the foam board becomes a template for the outer plywood layers.
Any suggestions?
