535 cockpit floor

Post by Kuta »

Hi All,
I've just acquired my first 535 that's in need of a bit of love so I've started sprucing before venturing on the water with her. One thing I have noticed when clambering on and off is the floor in the cockpit does give a bit, I'm no lightweight but did wonder it this is normal?
Cheers

Hi
regarding your cockpit floor. My 570 has just shown signs of the same problem, and on lifting the carpet have found the plywood floor to be rotten in places. I have managed to replace the worst sections, as I did not want to replace the whole floor. It seems to be OK at the moment. Good Luck

Thanks for the reply Steve, mine is the fiberglass itself i.e. the hull, not sure if it's normal to have flex in it as I'm used to twin skinned boats
Cheers
