Hello all,
Last weekend I purchased a 1989 Supra Sunsport with the pcm 351. The boat has around 1200 hours and I was told it had the stringers and floors done in 2011. Overall its a great looking boat for its age and i was pretty excited about it. Tonight I was winterizing the boat and noticed a loose motor mount bolt............ the front left mount both the bolts are striped out and when I remove the bolts it certainly looks like the wood under the mount is soft.............

At this point I'm about ready to jump off my roof. So much for a nice boat. Where do I go from here? Could a 9 year old stringer already be rotten? The other mounts do seem to snug up (I didnt dare overdo them though). Can this be repaired without doing a full stringer job? Thanks everyone - Ryan in Massachusetts.
