Hi Joel,
At the risk of belabouring the aforementioned topic, and I apologize
for not jumping in last month... the "not a stringer" you are
referring to in regards to the mast step is a girder.
To recap, you are correct in the floors.. they run athwarships and
stringers running the length of the boat to support stiffness of the hull.
When it comes to C&C mast steps, many are classic box girder construction.
Cheers, Russ

a pre-box girder arrangement, it's just a slab 'o thick plywood span
across the bilge and hope for the best

Stevan,
As someone taught us, it is technically a "floor" not a "stringer"
because it does not run the length of the boat, but yes. They are
hollow, inverted U shaped fiberglass. I think chuck meant the
combination of stringers and floors forms a sort of egg-crate that
traps water where there are no limber holes.

I know there is a previous thread about the limber hole thing but I
can't find it.
Joel, I'm looking at this picture:

When you drilled the hole through the ... stringer? What was inside?
I hear mention of eggcrate but I have no idea where you guys are finding it.
The sole forward of the mast is rotted out because of exactly this
reason, no drainage from the section underneath.

Chuck,
The list can't handle photos. We all use different methods to store
photos on-line and email links. Feel free to send the photo to me
off-list. Photos of my boat are at
<http://facebook.com/TheOffice35>facebook.com/TheOffice35. You can
see the limber hole and bulkhead in one or two. It sounds like we
have the same issue.

Thanks, Jake and Joel...I have tried to attach a jpeg view of the
head-ache we apparently all share. The message was kicked back so I
guess I am out of compliance by sending a pic...
I have read several list-ers reference Rob Ball, and a connection
to this list somewhere. Has he been asked his opinion about any
creative solution to this? Or was this not a design issue, but an
'on the manufacturing floor' issue? If you say the limber holes
solution was doable...I may give that a try. Unfortunately for my
garage storage capacity, a Harbor Freight is way too close to me here.
Looking at the pic I tried to send, do you guys have the same
situation/position of the egg-crate voids relative to the
bulkhead/mast; where they are just peeking out from under the
bulkhead, barely accessible? Or have you found them different
locations for boats of different years/build locations?
Thanks...and Jake, we have a cabin on St Martins Point, and our
family has enjoyed the Straits of Mackinac for years. St Ignace,
(and the new Mackinac Grille deck overlooking the marina) says
hello! Do you get back often?
