Just picked up my first boat! It needs a transom, floor, and outboard. One spot of the floor is mush and I was wondering if it was ok to cut out the rotted area and patch it or am I better off taking out the whole floor and replacing it all? Is it true these boats don't have stringers in the hull? I've looked at a few people's pics from their restorations but no one mentioned having to repair the floor other than put in new carpet. Any help is greatly appreciated!
