Thanks for all of the welcomes and suggestions. The soft spots do seem to be concentrated around hatches and the spot were the winch was. The only other obstacle is that the boat sat for almost two years with about ¼ tank of gas in the internal tanks. The tank looks good and all of the hoses have been replaced but I am currently running her off of an external 28gal tank until spring when I can concentrate on cleaning the internal tank. All I am planning on doing know is getting ready for the fall run. I will try and post some pics soon.

RIBoater, I am Newport RI, and do know a few “lobstering wench” if you are interested. ;D

Thanks again!
