Soft floor repair
I have some soft spots that need fixing and this type repair is above my pay grade/level. Anyone you could recommend that is reasonable and in the Rock Hill/ Charlotte area?

Yea, usually soft spots means rotton wood, which has to be removed and filled. Done 1 myself....course it was an old cheap boat but I found out the rotten wood went alot farther than the weak spot was.:o

1/8th in aluminum and marine grade plywood run pretty close to the same price for a 4x8 sheet so id opt for the permanent solution of aluminum. no more rot ever and saving a lot of weight. i use treated wood in my boat when i bought it and got about 6-7 years before it started coming apart. i replaced the front and rear deck and the floor with aluminum and when i get the rod boxes done my repair time should be kept to a minimum. id say bite the bullet and use aluminum, especialy if you keeping keeping it .
