Check the horizontal stringers to see if they are
wood. If so are they epoxied right to the inner
hull skin without any stress relief? Check the
hull along the stringers above the
bilge and look for stress cracks. Also check that the bulkheads are well bonded to the hull, again check for stress relief, such as foam between the bulkhead and fg hull. Check for cracking along and to each side of the bulkheads. There should be no hard points between any
wood and the FG shell.
Also check the condition of the bulkheads and stainless chainplates. Also check carefully the condition of the
motor mounts and
motor mount stringers.
