floor stringer replacement

I am having the floor and stringers replaced in my 87 BFN. guy said he can do if for $2500. That's with me taking the motor, trans, and shaft out myslef and reinstalling them when he is done. Sounds like an ok price to me. Anyone have any imput about price. I am in the south east michigan area and the guy comes well recomended.

can you snap some pics of the rot area?? will you also travel? that price isnt too bad depending on the damage, it is winter, is that his standing around doing nothing winter price?

can take pics hopefully this week. I use my borthers didgital camera, and he has not been home for a couple weeks now. Well not at the same time as mee anyway, we work opposite shifts. But I am going to start winterizing this week, before I pull motor.

Why Eric, do you do floor replacements. I have to travel to get to this guy. So depending on how far and price maybe. As far as him giving a stand around winter price he doesn't have one because he is always busy. All the times I have been there he's never had less than 5 boats in the shop being worked on. That was in December.

I am not affraid to save money so long as the end result is the same.

BF, that is good winter work for our shop, dec. jan. or feb. if you could snap a few photos.
of coarse i would prefer doing the r and r on the engine. but i could keep it at the same price.
a picture tells a thousand stories

well in my case the fibergla$$ has cracked and peeled away from the wood portion of the stringer. The wood has become very water logged, from not being cover with fibergla$$ anymore. Because of the lack of protection the wood has become very soft and is starting to fall apart.

But I believe my stringers are in the very late stages of being bad. With all the knowledgable people on this site, if yours are in the very early stages of going bad, someone here maybe able to help you fix them. With out having to replace them.
