Boater man, if you feel the need to do this, you would have to form the alloy to suit the current hull shape, intimately connect it to the hull, most likely with a polyester bog (because you have to use polyester resin over it), and then glass over the whole thing to form the stringers again.. I have done a lot of research on this site regarding stringer replacement and what i have decerned is that you can cut out the old ones and glass in new wood, or cut out the center of the stringers and pour in new ones. i have a thought on aluminum stringers and wanted some of your opinions on the subject before i go for it.. Tracker boats are built in the heartland of america, in lebanon, missouri—the aluminum boat-building capital of the world. since 1978, when johnny morris introduced the first bass tracker boat.
Hull design as with any quality aluminum boat on the market, xtreme boats' hulls are designed using a longitudinal stringer framework. this ensures that any impact is transferred down the entire length of the hull causing less stress on any one point.. If it was my boat, i would build a aluminum stringer/grid system and use the exterior plywood (coated) for the deck. you want the strength and rigidity that a stringer/grid will give you to keep the hull from flexing.. Learn how to remove the foam from your below deck stringers, reconstruct them, and re-foam them from scratch. plus get a look at a company that has been making hardware for your boats for decades!.
