Welcome aboard Tex Extreme..

There have been many re-decking posts here in the resto forum..
Try doing a "search" and put in "soft spots" or " replacing deck"

And..get used to calling that floor a deck..lol..
Bunch of ol time salty dogs on here are adamant that floors are in houses and decks be in boats..

Lots of great info here..Enjoy

Re: replacing floor 97 glastron

i was just unsure on a few parts i can only find pictures of older boats but here are a few pictures of the areas i was wondering about

here the deck slopes up at the back

were the paper is the deck is bad it says bad just cant read it

does this gray piece just come out

will the deck just slide under here or am i looking at having to seperate the white part

Re: replacing floor 97 glastron

Don't know the specifics of the 97 glastron, but I just replaced the floor and did some stringer work on my 96 galaxie. I decided that this winters project was going to be the deal. So, I started taking all the side panels out, cut the carpet (needed replacement) along the edges and then checked the floor with a simple hammer test (dud sounds lead to rotten wood). I know what I have now. Good luck on yours.
