Title: Soft floors unsafe?
Post by: sportinwood on April 25, 2014, 05:08:22 PM

I'm in the process of replacing my steering and throttle cable. I removed my interior down the left side and noticed there are some soft spots.

I have always had plans of replacing my floor but figured it is something I can deal with for a few seasons.

My question is at what point is it unsafe? Would it compromise the stability of the boat at speed?

I really don't want to dive into this project just yet, but if it is potentially unsafe, I will have to rethink my priorities.

Lastly, what is an average cost of material to replace floor and recarpet?

Boat is a '79 Hallett 21' mini day.

soft spots are not to bad until you step through the floor with bare feet or flaps on and cant get your foot back out with out f-n your foot up....that's experience talking.

Haha. Well its soft but I don't think its that bad. I will try to get another season out of it. Floors, wiring and interior after summer.
