I got the boat out today and while on the water I started thinking about that soft spot up front that I've tried so desperately to ignore due to the difficulty involved in lifting the cap on this particular Center Console. With a little help from ya'll, I'd could ace the stringers if need be, but honestly I'd rather keep it on the water till I hit the lotto and then just buy a new one. I started looking around in the bilge trying to find some rot but only found glassed stringers. Is this normal?? On my last boat every time I pulled the plug on it wood slivers would rush out of the plug hole but I never had a soft spot, ironic . Back to this boat. The bottom of the deck also appears to be glassed near the rear of the boat, so why the soft spot up front? So if I do a core sample up front and find that the stringers are glass also, can I leave them? and more importantly (to me ) how do I repair the soft spot without lifting cap or making it look like hammered s@#*? I've never glassed before and this would be difficult to match up since the deck is raised about an inch so water gets guttterd to the rear. Any advice would help even if you need to rewind me and set me straight on the foam issue
Not sure it even has it, sure can't see it from the back) or anything else I may be overlooking. Thanks, Carter
