Mine has a center stringer on that "keel". It was wet when I did the same removal you show here. I had to let it dry for a year before I bedded in the new center stringer. Bedded stringers in PL cement, did the peanut butter radius and wrapped it in 3 stages with 1708 - the last going right to the top of the stringers. Try finding clear Douglas fir - especially during covid wood prices. What a job! I got so damned tired of walking with my feet at 45 degree angle. Because I was using unwaxed to laminate, I went over everything with waxed gelcoat before I put the floor back in. That was a happy day when I at last had a level floor. Did you give up on the project? I wouldn't blame you if you did. It's a brutal job.
