i started restoring my 1986 galaxy a couple months ago and the more i get along with the tear down the more i find that i dont understand so hopefully someone can help....first off there is a rubber substance about 1/32" in assorted places on the hull dont know why or what it is.....second for some odd reason in the bow they put a rib across the stringers with no drain hole no place for water to go that was a mess under the deck there......third the stringer bulge at the base in assorted places and unless it was a real bad glass job or i think possible the wood rotted and the fiberglass compressed help on this one would be greatly appreciated before i cut the strings out so i can replace the transom....no telling what i am going to find behind the transom....also there is something that i hope is not fiberglass over wood that lays flat about midship toward the bow.....i have no idea what this is or what it is for unless to take the place of a stringer....the pictures of the tear down are here http://s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg70/secondchance22107/GALAXY 210/?start=0 start at page 2 thru 4 for the stringers.....i have read a lot on here and learned a lot but you can never learn enough thanks in advance...LeRoy
