I recently purchased this 19 foot shoalwater that has a soft spot in the deck around the console. I knew it would need to be fixed, but hoped to get a little use before that happened. Just fishing around to see if anyone has done a deck repair like this before or had one done. Not sure how the stringers and supports run, and I’d like to just get some ideas before I dive off into it

Everyone who has been there will tell you the same.
rot happens from the bottom-up.
if the decking is soft (rotten) stringers and quite likely transom are too.
20 year old boat.. almost definitely
not likely a quick fix involved 😕

good of news is you’re in the right place for the help and advice you will need.
