Not to concerned with appearance.LOL! It's a 1973 boat so I'm only 2 years older than it and it's 1 year older than my wife!LOL! After I responded to you last night I got a huge burst of courage and went out and cut into my floor. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be and I cleaned it up real well and hand patted it dry and put a fan on it. Tonight I plan to sand and scuff it up a bit, re-clean it and then do my repair the next night.

I was surprised when I tore into it that the crack was even LESS noticeable from the inside. I had to really search for it. I can't fathom how this crack could even leak. I wound up taking twine and going around the boat from point to point and tieing a plumb bob to get the exact location of the drip. I was pleasantly surprised to find all my stringers and so forth were in very good shape.

Thanks for the encouraging shot in the arm!
