Long story short, I picked up this Wellcraft Suncruiser 2000 for $200 complete a few weeks ago.
I am working on obtaining a replacement engine, but first I want to repair the soft spot in the floor on the Port quarter. The soft spot is about 1.5 ft square, but I will be pulling the area up today to make sure I don't have underlying problems. I have various plywood, ss fasteners, etc already. I have no reason to suspect much else but the soft floor, but stand by.

The current stuff (fiberglass?) is pulling from the floor in the area. What is this deck covering? Poly, Fiberglass, something else? Should I pull the entire covering and re glass/poly the entire deck area regardless of weather or not I replace the underlying wood?
As I approach getting repair materials, I am confused by the myriad of products available. Do I go with Poly Resin with fiber, Epoxy with glass? uscomposites has everything I need, but what do I need? Any help would be appreciated. The forums here are a blessing and a curse, while there is a ton of information I sometimes get lost is the awesome threads and I lose my focus. Help me focus....
. Thanks.
