I need help on how to repair this place in the pic. What happen was a root went in to the drain hole and went up and pop a hole and now the wood is rotted. You can knock on the outside of boat and it's hollow 8" to 12" the rest is soild. Hear are some other pics. What is the best way to cut the white floor out. as you see someone cut apart of it out. they layed plywood back down for a new floor. What i want to do is cut the rest of the floor so i can pull out all the foam and let the boat fully dry out. I will put the white floor that i cut and back in. I'm thinking about using 1/2" marine wood for the new floor. Would the be good enough or do i need to go bigger?

is that on the transom? if so your best bet is to remove the cap, floors, and then the transom. I believe that would be good hopefully offshore ginger will also stop by and lend a his knowlege of cats. good luck on the project.
