In addition to the great folks and info here I would also reccommend checking out:

http://continuouswave.com/

and

http://www.classicmako.com/

two other great sites with lots of similar projects and plenty of expert opinions. Spend hours using that search function - everything you need to know is a click away. Best of Luck!

BTW my cousin also has a 69 seafari project. Transom close is complete, he's at the gelcoat stage.

The 1966 bowrider which we just restored, it's stringers are just as you described, hallow & sturdy. They were originally built this way, no wood, no foam. Can't say for sure on the 69, but maybe the same.

I'm in the process of doing one now. It's close to being splashed. In a few weeks . . . it'll be a Commercial Salmon boat .

Ditto for my '69. Hollow and sturdy.
