Wood the wonderful wick!
Would the water in the laminations be caused by fiberglass that was not fully saturated with resin? Or do think it would have been moisture in the layup freezing and thawing like Dave mentioned?

I think a few things happened.
1, This stringer has been repaired before, who knows how well or what the glass was like then. I know the first time it was found years ago it was found because of a crack in the hull on the outside.
I'm guessing water got into the laminate then.
2, The stringer was completely rotted. Standing water in the stringer could possibly soaked into the laminate or had the freeze/thaw Dave spoke of.
As I kept grinding water actually kept coming out from under the glass.

As I dug into my 272 Formula last winter, I could not believe how the water went from the bulk head, soaked into the 2x2 that tied in the stringer and into the stringers from there. Only reason my transom was dry is the wood stringers did not but up to the wood in the transom, about a 1/2" gap. And formulas we're supposed to Be well built, I do not know how any of them could be 100% dry.

I thought so too about formula being a well built boat..i have a 92 336 sr1,,the forward bulkhead in the engine bay is just painted plywood that was tabben ins bulkhead is the main bulkhead that the center of the top deck through bolts to..in my eyes my boat should go back to formula so they can do it the rite way because that bulkhead and part of the stringers forward from their is also painted wood that was tabbed in..i see why everything rots from the windshield back,formula dont put any fiberglass over their wood in that area..
sorry lilred i was venting lol..
