I am in the process of replacing the stringers in my 68 FGL. It is a glaas boat with Mahogany covering boards. My stringers were glased and I have been able to take that off with out issues. One out board stringer is shot but the other three are ok with a little dampness. I plan on dryong then coating with CPES and then reglassing. My question is abou the type of wood. since these are original stringers I believe in 68 they used Douglass fur for 2 X 4's. Replacing the one stringer I found that douglass fir is very hard to come by but was able to get a lenght and size I needed. One board is $68. Just wondering what everybody else is using as wood for there stringer replacements???
