I replaced sections of 2 stringers on my Esox Magnum last year and yea, as long as the floor is out, I would look at those stringers real close. When I cut the floor out of my boat, the stringers looked OK. But then I started poking them with an ice pick and realized how soft they actually were. It was a no brainer, they were saturated and had to come out.
If your stringer need to be replaced in the Rampage, make sure you totally encapsulated them in fiberglass and resin prior to installing.
If I get some time and can figure out how to download pictures here, I'll show you what was done.
