247 advance: deck floor sagging

[plumislandsam]

I have a 1999 247 advance. The floor panel that runs from the center console back under my seat and covers the gas take has is sagging in the middle over the gas tank.
I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem and what you had to do to fix it.

Thanks

Sam

I would think the wood coring has gotten wet. It may or may not be rotten. Panel gets removed, glass underskin removed, new coring installed, new glass installed. There's quite of a few threads here on this forum (and plenty to be found through googling) about this exact subject and many of them even have pictures and how-to's. Take a look through some of them and it will give you all the info you want. If you're handy, it's an easier fix than you might think.

I just finished reinstalling the one on my 24' Offshore. Did it exactly as Dennis explained.

Yep, couple of posts about this on all the older Grady's. While the hatch is being repaired you might want to remove all the hatches, pull out the caulk and install with new caulk.
