Transom and floor repairs

like ny, not that familar with the center console, but if the stringer system is similar to the cuddy. there is a large void between the forward bulkhead of the fuel cell compartment and the bow. you probably got water intrusion where they screwed the console to the deck and that is the largest span between stringers. you could put a 4 or 6 inch deck plate in that area and that would let you look in the area and see what your up against. i think i would avoid pulling the cap if i could.

put the deck plate where the soft stuff is(depending on how big it is, it might take care of the soft spot, at least you'll know what your dealing with

I agree with those prior that reccomend an access cover "look see" before jumping in.

The only way I have been able to address this issue without pulling the entire cap is outlined in a previous theard I posted

It does require basic fiberglass skills and will leave a access cover with approxiate a 1/4 inch elavated lip. However, it can address a large soft spot in a deck while providing access and storage you didn't have avialable before (think battery well)
