Well, since you asked, that 2x4 with the through bolts is just bolted to the original stringer, not an acceptable repair to a stringer even for just supporting a new floor. Stringers are the backbone, a structural element of any boat. This boat obviously needed something done with them, and this is the method they chose.

I just clicked on that pic to expand it, if that is an after pic, then this boat is no go. More like the oft quoted advice of "run away".
