    New to me 1986 Stratos 179v

    I have recently inherited this old stratos was my grandfathers boat he purchased brand new has so it some sentimental value was under cover until 09/10/2017 then sat out in the fl weather until 2021 when i got it, no tarp nothing for 5ish years so boat is a little worse for ware i 100% need to do the floor and transom got the 150hp suzuki up and running and fully serviced perfect compression across the board (304 hrs on this boat) wondering if i should be worried about anything other than the transom and floor (stepped in the boat and fell through the floor) all of the lids to the livewells and storage areas are fg composite and seem very solid should i be worried about stringers or are they also fg composite?

    Experts will chime in but if I went into it to do floor and transom I would plan to do stringers and all
