Re: Soft Spots
Sean, welcome to the board and congrats on your V-20...your soft-spots are of course caused by moisture rotting the wood under the fiberglass...fortunately yours doesn't sound too bad and probably can be fixed w/ out cutting the deck up...there is a proceedure where you can drill 1/8" holes through the upper skin of the floor, let the wood dry out, then inject an epoxy resin in there (I think called Git-Rot) that will encapsulate the dry, rotted wood and strengthen the floor...click here:

You can use it around where the wench was and your floor will be as strong as new...
...take pics along the way and post 'em as ya go...we're a bunch of lethargic old farts on this board and just luv lookin' at pictures of other peoples broblems ;) ... ;D ;D ...
