Advice: 1979 Four Winns "Marquise 170"

[wilcahol]

I own a 1979 Four Winns Marquise 170 that has a soft spongy floor in front of the engine well. The floor has a covering of 1/8 inch thick fiberglass over what appears to be 3/4 inch plywood. The wood floor has rotted and needs to be replaced. The only way to replace the wood floor is to take out the fiberglass. Is this a project that someone has had experience with?

Hoping that someone out there has experience with this problem and will share their information.

Spend days, reading them all; different opinions, different methods.
but plenty of pictures.

Thank you. Imagine if one would like to know something bad enough they will spend the time researching it.
