'82 Stringer 260 Facelift
Well winter is here and it's time to rework my '82 Stinger. I tore the cuddy out and found a lot of bad wood stringers and cross members. I couldn't get my camera to work right so there are no before I tore the deck, sink and cabinets out pics of the cuddy. But here are some of what I found and what I've replaced. I'll post more pics as I go. I want to be completely done by Memorial Day weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I will probably have some DIY questions for the more knowledgable then I guys.

Said it before and I'll say it again . . . . loved my 260 Scorp. Cant say it was the best rough water boat, or the best built, or the fastest (or even fast for that matter lol) but she sure was one of the funnest boats i ever had.

Finished all the cross members in the cuddy. I'm going to make the porta-potty space bigger by adding a bulkhead alittle further to the rear of the one I cut out. And possibly a short wall that will extend across the benches and up the sides to just below the portholes. Not sure about that yet. Here are a couple pics of the crossmember replacement. Still need to glass them back in.
Thank you CigeretteSam for the lead on the cuddy door and hatch. I'm trying to get in touch with the owner at this time. He may also be on vacation for Thanksgiving.
