Re: 1987 Sea Ray Seville Bow Rider Restore Project - How Do I Scarf The Stringers?
I'm doing a total refurb on my 98 Sea Ray bowrider and have to install all new stringers. I was going to use 3/4" ply joined together as the stringers are 12 feet long and ply is only 8 feet long. After 2 unsuccessful attempts at joining, I simply bought 3/4 inch solid wood in 12 foot lengths and all is now good on the boat. No joins, the gas tank has no space issues. If you can take out what's left of the old stringers, I'd do that and install new ones with no joins. It's gotta be the best route long term.
