    Well made some headway, got the deck off, finished up the transom, sealed the poly resin with epoxy. Slid the deck back on and started ruffing out the splash-well delete. Using 3/4 nidacore for the filler piece.

    Whats the best stringer to put back in these? Ive saw just a single up thr middle, single with 2 side supports, and then duals up either side of the pad. Was leaning to just a single up the middle

    Yea thats the plan, either going to delete the splash well like a pulse and fiberglass in some knees or put it back in with the knees tied into the splashwell like my challenger 21

    Well finally got around to the predictor, heres a few pics! New transom, the 3/4" ply is trippled up instead of just doubled to handle the extra power. Some one tryed there hand at stringers once upon a time, needless to say the silicone they used to 'glue' them in made disasembly easy lol...
