I have an 86 supra Marauder Skier. Closed Bow. I recently pulled the drivers seat out to secure it and found the floor under it to be shot. I cut the bad section out and foun the stringers under the drivers seat were rotting. Not real bad but they are rotting. I reinforced them to get me thru the summer and put a patch piece of floor in. I have 2 other spots on my floor about a raquet ball size for each that are soft. I would like to replace the floor and see what the stringers are like. How hard is it of a job to do? I do not think I can afford to take it to a shop to do by looking at tsome of the other posts on here. If I do it myself would the bow of my boat need done even though it doesnt see moisture? Any help would be great and pics of some of your expierences with this prob. Thanks Nick

There is a product called Smith's Penatrating Epoxy. It will turn rotten wood into concrete. The wooden boat rebuilders use it all the time. Give it a shot. 800-234-0330
