I would double the engine stringers by putting two pieces back to back and glassing over them.
If you are looking for strength on the floor do a spider web pattern like we used back in the day. Is that what those tubes are on the floor for??
Remember to extend the glass up the sides of the boat about 3 or 4 inches to tie it all in.....over the stringer and over the floor and up the side of the boat

Engine stringers looks perhaps a bit thinn on the pics.
The stringers are 2 pieces of wood put together.
Thickness 1,76". Not enough?

Yes this is why the tubes are on the floor.
I copied some Panteras.
I will look into your suggestion, spider web pattern.
Extend the glass up the sides.
Thanks for your comment.
Looks like I have some more grinding to do.

I think your drive is to high at 3'' even with the 8''box. deep drive boats like mine was 7 to 71/2'', I am at 5'' with no box which is good for me. the 24 and 25 outlaws with a 12'' set back box run great at 4'' but 3'' to much slip. if you are stuck on three I would set it up at 3'' with no spacer, that way you can add one and be at 4'' and could add one more if you need to be at 5''. I am looking at a konrad ace set up which would be at 4'', but 1st must sell my new b1x drive,shortie,transom set up spare drive, hyd steering
. to help cover the cost or I will just keep it and take it easy on the 1050hp
. you should think about bringing the bulkhead in front of the motor all the way to the top of the gunnel, for strength, then you could cut out a 2' plate area to get at front of motor thats what I am doing and adding to in the cabin to stiffen up the boat to be a lite weight tank. set up looks good. good luck art

Any boat would be awesome with that set up!
I hope you go for a Banana. There is not enough of Bananas out there.

Some updates.
First a quick check of the bulkhead so far. Beneith the bulkhead I have 3 layers of glass fiber.
The lower part has already been covered with 3 layers of fiber and is now connected to the old parts.
Next step was meassuring the bulkhead and cutting the fiber.
4 more layers where cut out.
Voila. The bulkhead is now done.
Engine stringers were also attached at the same time.
