Cleaned up the ChrisCraft yesterday after her long winter nap and work has kept me too busy until now to take the covers off.

I noticed a small area about a foot square where the floor flexes.
This is a glass floor and no wood or carpet.Self bailing deck.
It is the spot on the port side that is usually where everyone gets in and out.

I can get to it by removing an in floor storage compartment.
Just wondering what is the best repair.
The floor has the factory non-slip surface so working from underneath is the only option.
I can get an arm back there anyway..:rolleyes:

Has anyone had a fiberglass floor do this? I guess it being 30 years old could be part of the problem....
