Re: Stringer Replacement Formula 302
I would not worry about blue printing it, on a boat like this you will not see much benifiet unless you plan to put HUGE power in it. I would make a cradle for it. Use 2x12's for support. Do all that and check your bottom first. The bottom on these things is very thick so it is not likely that it goes out of wack if you take some precaucions.

Re: Stringer Replacement Formula 302
I am going to attempt the blueprint just for experience. I am doing this work on an older boat that was free. I do not want to be ctting and grinding on a new boat that cost me well over 50K, but if I learn on this one I may do it to something newer in the future. Thanks for the help

This job was done a LONG time ago. Building one house and restoring another is keeping me from finishing up other things

Not finished with the paint and all but the stringers are in under the cockpit. I am thinking about doing the ones forward in the cabin with a insert like Formula uses now. Will have to have it engineered but it woudl save me HUGE on the weight.
