[werkellys]

I am new to this stuff I am capable to do the work but I have no experience or idea on how or what to do to redo the floor. I coy out the soaked piece in the rear of the floor it is WET what is involved and is it worth it to rebuild?
I saw some some of the threads on the cost I have had the boat for a while it has been sitting for over 10 years What should I do as far as checking the engine also
Thanks in advance for all the advice

1st inspect the hull for damage, soft spots and inventory what you find. Next come up with a plan of what you would like the finished project to look like.

After you get a good idea of what you have and what you would like to accomplish start reading past posts here to get ideas of what others have done and faced.

As always, post pictures of what you have! These folks love pictures.
