Stringers are the very foundation of the boat. Like floor joists they hold everything together. Usually bad stringers come with otherstructural problems. If you are really interested in this boat talk to a surveyor about a short survey of the stringer issue since the seller is willing to start engines it should be possible to do a quick in water assessment of the stringer issue so that you are full informed of repairs required before you negotiate a price and contract for full survey. Injecting some goop into rotted wood is not really a solution.


IMO you are lucky to find this problem now and should keep looking. There are many many boats without serious problems on the market at cheap prices today.
