Soft Spot

[chackett]

For years I've read threads about people saying they have soft spots on their floor. I never knew what they meant until recently.

I happened to be walking on the deck of the boat in my sig. A F20 Fisherman. In the small area between the front bench seat and the raised bow platform area I happened to notice a very small, very subtle soft spot. I would estimate the spot to be about the size of a small grapefruit. I can really only find it if I am looking for it and I can only feel it with my bare heel. The amount of "give" in the soft spot is so small, I'm not sure I could even estimate give in the soft spot.

There's another spot with the same characteristics behind the leaning post.

Again .. the spot is very small, and very subtle. Any normal adult could stand on either soft spot with all their weight and they would probably not notice that they had stepped on a soft spot.

What would you do with this? Anything? I am considering re-painting the deck / floor to re-seal the floor and cover the spider cracking in the current surface. I don't want to seal some problem in, but I don't really fancy a complicated job of cutting the floor apart and doing fiberglass work.

Anyway, would love some input!

Thanks,
Chris
