Extra Floor Support?
Posted: August 8th, 2013, 11:18 am
Ok guys and gals,
My 1998 Wellcraft 190CCF has a slight flex in the floor in front of the console. It is very slight, and not at all mushy. I don't believe the floor is "soft" because I can see the fiber glassed wood underneath via the hatch next to it, and it doesn't look or feel waterlogged. I am just hoping that it is a design flaw of the boat. The other side does it very very slightly as we'll. It isn't bad, just irks me. I do plan on adding some support.
The pictures below help demonstrate what I am talking about. The circle is the spot in question, and the lines are the shape of the support I plan to make and where the void space above the supports in he boat are.
What composite material would you advise using for this? I plan on making it just shy of the depth and filling the rest in with 5200. Thoughts?
