In the 90's they went to composite stringers? what composite material did they use? Coosa? ------------- 1989 Teal Ski Nautique 1967 Mustang Harris Float Sunfish |

Home made at the factory!!! I don't even think Coosa had been invented yet. Take a look in the reference section. The brochure shows what was done. Fiberglass "U" channel for the basic "stringer" and then foam filled. Kirk, Why as you asking? A project in mind? I'm curious!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I remember these old ads from 1983 when mastercraft went with what they referred to as fiberglass stringers.
The 93 CC brochure Pete refers to shows similar construction. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Well mine is a 89 and I'm just planning ahead. My boat for the most part is stored out of the water when not in use but it has seen its share of water 
I've been reading everything I can about stringer replacement and leaning towards no wood. It looks like the new age stringers are all fiberglass now. I have never been to CC in Florida and when you watch their factory tour from the website its hard to seen what they attach the cradle to but I'm guessing its all fiberglass? ------------- 1989 Teal Ski Nautique 1967 Mustang Harris Float Sunfish |

Is their some one on this site that works at CC? I was wondering if there is a photo of the current day stringers? ------------- 1989 Teal Ski Nautique 1967 Mustang Harris Float Sunfish |
