Anybody out there with experience repairing stringer rot in a Sanger 20 DLX? I'm looking for some guidance on how to get to the front end of the stringer. From what I can see, it looks like there is a floor material transition from wood to ? almost where the front bow seats start. I can cut out the wood floor under the port side console, but it looks like the wood floor ends before I can get to the end of the stringer. As far forward as I have cut into the stringer, it is a spongy mess, so I'm assuming the whole thing needs to be replaced. Anybody with direct experience on the subject....?
I realize there are many who believe this cannot / does not happen to Sangers, and if it does there is a lifetime warranty. I used to be one of those people too....now?....well, not so much. When I first discovered this issue (loose ski pylon, engine mount settling), I was told (by Sanger) that warranty only applies to the original owner and was quickly dismissed. We bought the boat when it was 4 years old, and used it for many, many trouble free years. I started to tear into the boat some time ago, but now I'm on a mission to finish it. I'm passed most of my bitterness with Sanger, and now just looking to get my boat back on the water. Any help would be appreciated.
