I have a 1999 Pro Craft Bass boat, and the floor is getting "soft" in the middle of the boat.  I believe the floor is fiberglass, with wood below it (i think, not sure).  I has blue carpet on top. I want to fix the floor, but I'm not sure what the easiest/best way to do it would be... Any advice would help, and how much do you think it would cost for me to do it? For someone else to fix it?

Thanks in advance, Chad

Seeing as the boat is only 7-8 years old, I don't think your stringers are rotted unless this boat had water sitting in it for awhile. The floor is most likley plywood glassed over. I repaired the floor in my old Glastron, It was'nt that hard or expensive. I removed the entire floor of the boat, Let everything dry out and cut new plywood to fit. Before  I glued and screwed it down I Polyed the underside of the plywood. Once it was down I coated the floor with liquid fiberglass and taped the edges with glass cloth. Cut the carpet and glued it down. I think I had about $200 into it. If it's in an area where you can just replace the bad spot it's no different than repairing the floor in your house, other than knowing where to cut and how deep.

Your first step is to cut away the carpet and see what you've got.  If it's not a big spot it's usually a matter of cutting out the bad area and replacing with a new piece of wood that's been epoxy coated. Securing it to the stringers underneath and then re-glassing over the top.

Remove some carpet and get us some pics and we should be able to walk you right through the repair.

Pictures will help lots.

Thanks for the info guys!!

LBH... I'll get some pics up tomorrow

Looking forward to fixing it up!!

Thanks again, Chad
