Ok so I have currently reached a crossroads in my boat saga. I have a 15.5 ft center console that I bought this past summer. The former owner had replaced a good portion of the floor, looks like he just did a patch job. The work is solid but I'm not sure if he did it exactly how it was supposed to be done. My question would be, what are some opinions about redoing the floor to make sure it is right, as I want this to be a reliable boat that I can use for a couple of years (I'm a freshman in college, and it's got to last me until I graduate, 4-6 years). My original plan was to paint over it but the guy really did a hack job on it so then I figured I could throw some carpet over it to hide the nasty work. Another big concern is the cost of redoing the floor and possibly foam and stringers. I know alot of you guys on here have done a lot of boats, so I figured I could get more accurate numbers here rather than trying to figure it up myself. So what is a reasonable cost to do a 15.5 ft, if I had redo from the stringers up? I really doubt I'll have the time or $ to do it this winter but knowing I will need to do it some time down the road will make a difference what I do this winter. Any help is greatly appreciated.
