THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!Had a bad day all day today at work get home watch the rangers they lost
So decide to relax and clean the boat to go fishing. some one went beside my house cut the lock of the rod holder box 7 poles gone(not all mine either).then to end this sob story I'm in the boat lookin to see if other stuff is missing and it happened.BAM!!!!!!my foot went through the floor. I just wanted to sit in the corner and cry like a little baby
Ps how do you put a new floor in a boat it's my first one and have no clue?

my broke-arse would just screw or glue a new piece of plywood over the hole and be done with it.........

what kind of boat and wheres the hole?....post a pic and keep the new rod/reels in the garage.....

When it rains, sometimes it will flood

Don't feel too bad. Those days seem to happen to me quite regularly. Especially when I'm working on vehicles for some reason...

If possible cut out hole in the floor fiberglass and screw
1 X 2 boards under the floor with half the board under the
floor and half of it sticking into the open hole. Cut a
new piece of floor the size of the hole fiberglass and screw
to the boards showing inside the hole, Presto an instant
patch, may not last forever but will probably last as long
as the rest of the floor, since it is getting soft anyway.
I have used this method on a lot of boats.

Bass Boat Central has a restoration forum.I"m sure you could get some expert advice there.

At least the bad part is over now. It always happens in 3's. Rangers lost, rods gone, hole in floor. I would also screw down plywood over the top of bad floor cheapest and fastest patch.

Get ahold of North Texas Fiberglass in Denton (if you're not too far from there)

I'll sent a prayer your way nice man.God knows I needed one or two sometimes.Hope it gets better.

When I read this post the first thing that came to mind was 2 out of the 3 problems could have been avoided. If you have your boat outside and not under a car port...cover it. I'd check my transom if I were you, if that is rotted like your floor, then you might want to look for a new hull. And I would never leave my rods at any length of time in the boat if it weren't locked up in my garage. The locks on rod lockers aren't worth anything...purely there for show.

I would look up Mike Bristow as well from North TX Fiberglass. He's a good guy. Fixed my old aluminum boat and did it for a fair price.

i spent the day today taking the old floor out its not gonna be that hard me any a buddy of mine are gonna get it fixed pretty soon. the most expensive thing is the wood i guess. the boat stays beside my house under a car port. i guess its just time to get the floor redone any way.

Post some specifics on the boat and post a pic or two of the hole. Most anything can be fixed!

I get wood in the mornings too......
