Unfortunate discovery. Structure and integrity of the 92 pII question?

To my knowledge all the wood was encapsulated as built, all of it. If the integrity is breached by a crack, screw, etc, it will introduce water to the wood. If water sits on the encapsulated structure it will eventually absorb moisture and create issues. Fiberglass even absorbs water with age. Most likely it can be repaired with effort and experience. All boats of the era used wood in their structure then. Technology has progressed into complete glass and composite structures now, thus the current warranties. Get an experienced person to inspect your boat to determine the extent of repairs needed, and go from there. Best advice I can offer with limited view from here. BCB can advise further as to who might be best in your area ? Good luck, D.

Thank you that was kinda what I was afraid of. I am going to call sport marine down in Richmond texas Monday they make a pretty nice salt water boat so I would imagine they can take on the job. Just sacred of what the price might be because I fear the stringers will need to be replaced. I found it was not the entire stringer from what little I could see through the drain holes. And in fact the worst spot I found eventually got hard as I push my finger through the rotten wood. I am a proud bass cat owner and hope I can get it back on the water to show it off again. Thanks again for the info if you come across any further information that can help please let me know. Also do I need to worry about the hull loosing its rigidity or is it usually the just the stringers that go out.
