23' Floors
This winter I will be redoing the floor in my 84 Seacraft. Just wanted some insight of how the best way to go about it is. The wood underneath is good from best I can tell. Cut about a 3x3 place where the glass had delaminated and wood was solid. The glass is cracking in some spots and then alittle bit of mositure is getting in and the glass in losing its hold. I was thinking of striping all the glass off the wood from the front step up all the way back to the transom, letting it dry for a week or two or three, and coming back with some 1/2 OR 3/4 inch decking board to raise up the floor, but not going all the way to the side leaving about a 2 inch wide channel for water. I quess my question is what would be the best board to buy to screw to the original deck and the best glass,epoxy, etc... to use?
I believe this will cure my deck in the future from spider cracking all the time! First time taking on a project like this, but have done right much smaller scale work. If someone thinks going about it a different way feel free to share, I am open to all possibilities. Thanks!

Re: 23' Floors
How wet is it...??
Might be easier to use a big hole cutter and cut some holes to check it all around. If the wood is good and not too wet maybe you can keep most of the skin and start from that....

Re: 23' Floors
There is only a couple of delaminated places, but you can hit them pretty hard and they feel solid. The big place, the surface was a little damp. You could not even scratch away any wood. Then the spider cracks I fixed I sanded all the way to the wood and let it sit for three or four days and they were dry. Would it be ok to screw the wood directly to the glass and everything? Only thing about that is I want to do it right because I plan on keeping the boat for awhile. Transom is closed in and been done professionally, so I want it done right, no matter $ or time. Boat was surveyed in 2001 and gas tank and stringers were good to go. I was thinking about going ahead and cutting out a panel to remove the gas tank at a later date, if needed, any comments on that??
