Hydra Sport 185 soft spot between captain seats.

[Rob@northernIndiana]

New to this forum, I have a 1993 Hyrda Sport 185. I have a pretty substantial soft spot next to the helm, between the 2 captain seats. I plan on cutting up some of the carpet this week to determine how much rot I am dealing with. I am wondering if any in this forum has repaired their mid section flooring due to soft spots.
Any info or photo's would be greatly appreciated.

Plan on a full gut and restoration

Yes, I replaced my mid floor....and the rest of my floor, and stringers and transom. LOTS of pics on the link in my signature. Just be prepared for a full gut & restore.

I am sorry, dumb question. But where do I find the link in your signature? I have scrolled through some of your pics but do not see a floor/stringer job.
