How were Vigilants built?? I found a used Vigilant but it appears to have had water sitting in the hull bilge cuddy for a period of time. What were the stringers made of? As I am concerned about possible long term damage/issues that may arise with this boat.
Thank you

The Vigilant was constructed the same as all the other recreational/CPD/BCGD boats.
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
