I'm a nube to the fiberglass world and just purchased a 1982 ozark v161 bass boat a few weeks ago. I was told before I bought it that it had a small soft spot on the deck. I noticed that it had drain holes on port and starboard and figured there must be weep holes throughout and drain out to the pan at the transom. My question is, it would seem to me that under the deck there would be no foam in this boat and the stringers and bulkheads would be cased in glass. If so, could I just re surface the deck with 1/2" cda and glass it in? Also about mid ship strb side on the hull below the deck line there is a quarter size chunk of glass missing looks like just the gel coat and possibly from over flexing against a stringer? or could it be from something else?
TIA
