I took this boat in as a trade against money owed. I noticed the floor was soft and pulled the carpet to find the gellcoat had been cut away. The floor is rotted and there is a split up the middle of the floor. I see no way of removing the flooring due to the type of injection molding used in construction. So, first question. Does it make since to epoxy the exposed fiberglass wood area with a filler? My thinking is to fill the void and then come over top with a 1/4 inch plywood flooring, which I'll Valspar and then carpet.
My second thought is to fill the void with 1/8 inch material cut to fit, epoxy it in and then come over the top of that with the 1/4 inch ply and carpet. While not the greatest solutions I think coming on top , the 1/4 inch ply will ride on whats left of the gell coat and should last a couple of years anyway. Its not an expensive boat and if I could get a few years out of it I'd be happy. Thoughts?? Its been forever since I fooled about with apoxy.
