a couple questions. i have a 14' 1967 star craft explorer .the floor and the stringers are all bad with rot so i have started to cut the floor out .how do i get in the corners to cut out the small areas i been cutting with a skill saw and a grinder .up in the front i went a little to deep with the grinder and i cut a hole all the way through about 2-3 inches long and about as wide as a grinder disc.how do i fix the hole thought it would be easyer to fix with no floor in it. what do i need to put the floor back in i know plywood and wood for the stringers .but i mean eopoxy-glass etc....my first time doing this if it goes good i have a 17' 1962 arsto craft i will work on next but not cut all the way through please help me
