All great insight. I've not weighed the hull and will not have that as an option as I am located in an out island of the Bahamas. The boat had approximately four inches of water in it at the dock for about nine months to the best of my knowledge. Never went all the way under but it had been scavenged with the bilge pump and yamaha parts stolen over the course of time. The boat is burping water through holes in the floor when you walk on it. Most of it feels soft and saturated with water. I would love to avoid this major work but am afraid there is no other way. One gentleman wrote that there was not much wood in the floor. Is the wood limited to a specific area that I could cut out and repair? I am not familiar with the deck construction on this one. Thanks for any help and for the quick responses.
