Well what can I say
here I go again
with all the help from you fine folks on my Glaston V196
i decided to do another boat
this time it’s a bayliner trophy 1910 center console
first off horrible workmanship the tabbing all came off with a prybar with little effort and of course all the wood was rotted
this boat was built rub style so the deck was tabbed in from the bottom and it was just suspended or floating with some strips of wood gunning across to stiffen it
the stringers did not support the deck
my big question is should I put the same size stringers back or make them bigger so the deck rests on them ?
im worried if I don’t the deck will flex too much even with 3/4 ply
the original stringers were 1x3 and I’m going to have to use 1x12 lumber if I want them to support the deck
i need some input and advice here
I also left 2” around the perimeter of the deck to rest the new ply deck on and to tab it in
