Floor soft and flexes
 

The title says it all but the floor I'm talking about is in the forward cabin, the floor that's about one foot wide and two foot long , can I just cut a piece of wood and put it over that, of course I wood seal the wood and paint it but under neat it would slit be soft, anyone ever do that? It's a 1978 so it has some age to it but it's still in very good condition. What would you do?

that would work. If you sanded the deck and bonded the wood to the deck with epoxy (or even some polyester resin) it would be even better.

So it should work but when you say bond it do I use fiberglass Matt and resin or can I use Gorila adhesive ?

I will tell you skunkboat there is always something today I had to spend 300 dollars for rotor rutor to unclog a drain and that was when I noticed the forward cabin floor soft , it wasn't a good day

Skunkboat do you think it would be OK to screw the panel on top of the soft floor in the cabin? I don't want to screw thru the hull I don't know how much clearance there is under the floor. I guess I could also use a sealant adhesive to glue it on top of the floor what would you guys do?

If the bottom is already compromised, why not cut it out? Leave a lip along edges to support the new bottom. Encapsulate a new core in fiberglass and bond to the top of the lip

I don't think screws are going to last. The core under the glass is shot, thats why it flexes.
Without making a project out of it, instead of replacing the core, I would say to bond a new core on top. Its not a large area and you don't seem intent on a permanent "pretty" fix.

That could be as simple as silicone and a piece of pvc board or plywood. You need to spread the forces with a bond of the board to the existing glass.

I cut a piece of plywood and it fits nice,covers it good I know the right way is doing what phatdaddy said but it's not a floor that is always stood on so what I think I'm going to do is glue it down with a adhesive caulk , paint it and that should be good p.s. I did get fiberglass to fix a crack the is on the side of the floor so after I fix that I should be good, I hope

Hey guys thanks for the advice, what it did today I had a crack in the cabin by the floor so I fiberglass it and I think it's going to be stronger as for the floor ,I have a piece of marine ply wood and cut it yo size and I'm going to glue it down and paint it That should be good I hope it is a small area but I had to address it thanks again guys
