Malibu Tyee Project

If the outer stringer are covered in heavy glass I would not be too concerned however you won’t know until you open it up.

Fill the cavity between inner and outer with expanding foam, put a couple weep holes in main stringers and it should be good forever.
Foam will quiet the ride and add stiffness. Ultimately if the outer stringers are covered in glass on a small boat. The glass is stronger than the wood and gives the stiffness

But the worst is it will always be on your mind! It would drive me nuts

Well my update is I didn’t tear up the entire floor. I did replace the port main stringer, and added some fiberglass to the starboard stringer and the center keel portion of the boat (probably didn’t need it but it feels really solid now!) finished up by re gel-coating bildge. The floor is dry as a bone and starboard side is in perfect shape. When the floor fails I’ll redo all stringers and floor.

Also added the stringers to the pod. 1.5” coosa (left over from other project). Getting closer!
