Stringers

[Jakem]

Good day....I have finished my transom and engine and outdrive back in place. Stringers are tabbed in but not finished. I need to move my boat about a 20 min drive. Is it safe to do so or will I crack something

Well I wouldn't of put the motor and outdrive back in if I was still working on stringers

Can't just finish the stringers first?

That portion is done...it's from there forward that isn't...it's wide open for me to finish.

If you tabbed the stringers in you will be fine , just keep it under a hundred mph... Way less stress on a hull sitting on The wagon vs going through rough water

That is kinda what I figured. I can honestly say it has way more strength now then it did when I pulled it apart no bulkheads...rotten and soaked stringers. Rotten and soaked transom.
