Wow 6 hours later and im just getting started. As stated here many people think there boat is structually sound and may just have a soft spot. My soft spot turned into a rotten string that ran almost the entire length of the boat. As well as saturated foam which i didnt even think i had. THe foam kept the integrity of the floor so it seemed to be solid. I opened it up and it was exatly the opposite.
ROUND 1 Ding, Ding
Stringers in bad shape.
I supported the motor with a 4x4 accross the top and 2 cut 2x4s on the outside to the ground. the outdrive is also supported on the outside.
Basically anything that has a dark color on the floor was wet and or rotten. Word to the wise dont open it unless you plan on fixing it right.
Stay tuned for round 2.
