Stringer delamination?
 

I just finished winterizing. As I was pulling the port battery I tapped the stringer and found the glass is loose from the wood for about six feet. Is there any such thing as an easy repair or should I just start parting out the boat. :mad:

Duct tape it down, and repaint the bilge. Then list it on Ebay!

Fixing is NEVER easy.

But it can be fixed .

Did it justcome off or is the wood rotten ?

If it just delamed then cut it of grind the wood and reclass, overlap on each side (about 6 ") and repaint with gelcoat .

Havn't opened it up yet. It feels solid behind. Problem is about 50% of it is going to be a real pain in the ass to get to without some major boat taking apart.

I might list it for the value of the parts.

question is WHY did it come unglued?? wet stringers is the usual culprit...time to break out the grinder and play itchy scratchy
