Purchased a 1989 yar craft 18' boat. The big question I have is fixing the fiberglass floor.

1. What is the best way to do this?
a. To place pressure treated wood down.
b. To add fiberglass to floor for re-enforcement

2. If fiberglass how to do it and how thick will I need to go to ensure a firm and safe floor?

Thank you

Re: Fiberglass repair question

Zell, Move this posting ot the repair forum. In short you will want to rip out the old floor, rip out any wet foam. Repair any rotten stringers, replace foam and screw down new 1/2 dry PT plywood floor and cover it with glass cloth and resin.
