Found a soft spot in the ski locker and now I have removed the deck from the hull the whole floor needs to be replaced it looks like the ski locker has been replaced before i cut out the floor where the replacement was installed and found a cross board was cut out but not sealed and what wood was in the stringers is rot now the stringers they seem to be half foam filled has any one worked with this type of stringers and have any advice for me thank you

Welcome to iBoats!

Foam filled stringers are fairly common. Can you tell if it is Wet or Dry? If wet, I'd recommend cutting the top off the stringers, removing the foam and repouring it. You could fabricate bulkheads using the poured foam and glassing them in as well. Need a larger pic of the deck area and possibly draw some lines in where you want the ski locker and bulkheads to go.

I have cut out more of the floor and found the stingers are wooden box filed with foam and the wood is wet so I'm going to pull the whole floor i hope that i don't have to pull the motor it is a new engine that i just put in. The hole that you can see in the stringers is a cross board to help hold the floor on the deck see pics

Looks like you are making good progress. Don't really look like there is much foam down there. Cant wait to see the tops off.
