TOPIC: MFG Carefree pics-the start of a long rebuild...

Today I went over to my neighbor's house and took some pictures of my new project boat:











I got inside and started pulling up the carpet squares that were lining the floor-the glass is all intact and the floor seems to flex a little under my feet if I stand in the boat and shift my weight hard, but it's not like the floor feels spongy. Is there any good way to tell the condition of the stringers without actually opening up the floor? I know what I'm getting myself into in terms of rebuilding it, but I'm just being hopeful at this point. This is a little concerning though:



It looks like the transom has begun to delaminate. Oh well, if I want to ever put a 40 on it for use on the river I'll want to make sure it's good and strong anyway. Right now I'm just concerned with getting it ready for some 9.9 cruising on the local reservoirs. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
