Built an A Frame to pull the motors. Then some bulkhead and stringer repairs and a fresh coat of Bilge paint. More pics to come.

Did you run into any issues lifting them out with the A-frame? Any notes on position or additional support underneath?

Wow, that looks bad. Could you post pics during replacement? Would you consider steel fabrication along with the new wood? What bilge paint do you use? Thanks.

Well during the summer I made new stringers.
Created templates out of foam insulation board and then transferred them to 3/4 inch Marine ply.
I bonded 4 layers of ply to create 3 inch wide stringers. Bonded the stringers in the hull and then will encapsulate them in fiberglass.

I wouldn't use steel as a replacement. I think it would be to heavy.
