Last year I bought a 19 ft Glasply and was mistaken on what year they transitioned to glass stringers so now I am at a crossroads. Cut my losses and scrap it or replace the stringers,floor and transom. If I do all the work then I know I have a solid foundation to repower. I know the hull will last. What I am trying to figure out is a rough estimate for what it's going to cost. I have been doing alot of research and understand it's going to be a chore. Also that it's going to cost me an arm and a leg. I have read to use straight grain douglas fir and tab them with 2 layers of Biaxial 1708. I am not trying to go the most expensive route but do not want to half as anything. The more forums I read about people saying run, the more I want to do it. I like a challenge but I want to lay out a budget to do it in stages. Probably going to take 2 years any insights would be greatly appreciated. Also plan to sheet floor with 3/4 marine ply and then resin it.
