Well I don't know for sure but, I'm about 90% certain your boat is built with wood coated in fiberglass. And it sounds to me like that wood has rotted. There is no easy fix or patch for this. Start reading some of the fiberglass boat restore threads (Friscoboater's thread is excellent) to see that you're up against.
