All,

We have just purchased 2002 Four Winns 240H and I have a question about the support structure under the bow section flooring. When you step on the floor in the center of the bow section there is about a 1/2" of flex in the floor. I have checked the deck on either side in the storage compartments and the deck is solid and covered in gelcoat. There appears to be a gap between the bottom of the bow "tub" and the deck. If you look from the ski storage area forward, the decking is in great condition and any exposed plywood is resin coated. Where the ski storage ends you can see the decking supporting the tub, but about 6" forward of that area is where it starts to flex. the sides of the bow area are stiff but I am assuming that is due to the extra glass used to support the corners of the tub. Is there any way to put something under this area to support the floor. There are some slight stress cracks near the support by the ski storage locker and I don't want them getting worse.
