Soft spot !

[Obxairman]

Howdy friends,
So my 247 advance has a soft spot port side left of the consoule . It's a round one around 8 inches . Anyone options here besides splitting the boat or cutting the floor ? Anyone used inject -a- deck or witch craft ? Krazy glue ? Duct tape ?

If you drill holes to insert epoxy to stabilize the affected area, you can use an Allen wrench or bent nail to remove some rotten core material and provide a ‘place’ for the epoxy to penetrate and settle and bond. This is helpful for any loose deck beddings too - epoxy and redrill and reseal any deck hardware.

This stuff hardens very hard. Kind of yellowish when it dries. Might want to buy a few extra mixing tubes if you don’t use the whole cartridge at once. It’s thickened epoxy though - it doesn’t really seep/flow/penetrate so you need to inject if you get what I mean. Gitrot or cpes products are more penetrating

Git Rot works pretty good too, very thin resin it'll soak it's way into the core nicely then harden.
And pick up some cheap syringes from your local drug store.
