Vigilant construction

What were the stringers made of? As I am concerned about possible long term damage/issues that may arise with this boat. Thank you Jordan

There were no stringers, rather the hull is made up of the outer and inner hull with bonded foam in between. Observe for weepage: - through hull drains (inside and outside) - cleats - deck seams Walk the main deck and bow area in bare feet for soft spots 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
