Reply With QuoteSlab if you need advice on how to "Un-Zip" the hull so you have something to work back to I'm here for you. I've cut up a bunch and put them back together kinda like the 6 Million Dollar Man, Stronger, Faster, Yada, Yada, Yada.

Thanks. The floor is so thin as it is so it'll be a new floor no matter how I unzip it. I'll try to make sure I have enough left to use for a template to make a new one though. ThanksOriginally Posted by rojoguio

Well, I prolly shoulda called John about unzipping because I didn't quite do what I had planned. Anyway, a guy just gotta see. Had to know what was under the floor. So I did what I did, and here it is.
So yeah, who puts wood in a boat. Don't they know it's gonna get wet. The picture is of after I removed the rotten wood on top that foam. I think this is just gonna be a case of opening it up further and further till I got something dry and solid. Then start slapping penetrating epoxy and fiberglass all over.

Yeah, you gotta check on the "insulation" stuff, too. If that flooring stayed wet long enough to rot out that bad, the insulation foam could also be "waterlogged", and need replacing.
(* sorry, just thinking back to my first boat from back in the 1970's, that had foam flotation that was so waterlogged that it would have sunk like a rock if it ever got swamped.)

Yep, gonna dig that out too. In the mean time, this fiberglass dust has me itching like crazy. I hate cutting fiberglass. Might have to use spray bottle of water next time to keep that dust down.Yeah, you gotta check on the "insulation" stuff, too.
