Hello all,

I had posted previously that we were looking at a '95, but that one just had too many issued to consider buying.  We've now found a '94 that is in much better condition overall, EXCEPT...

There are noticeable soft spots in the deck around the chainplates.  They also sound hollow when we tap the deck with the handle of a screwdriver.  In total, I estimate that the voids are 12" x 24" on each side.  I would prefer to repair these from below, as I am concerned about achieving an undetectable repair if we do it from above.  It appears to me that we can get to the bottom of the deck, cut out a couple areas to pull out the rotted core, reinstall the fiberglass that was cut out, and then fill with thickened epoxy. 

First question:  Will this work?  Has anyone here ever done that? 

Second question:  What would be the expected cost for this repair if we had it done by a professional?

Third question:  Can anyone here recommend a professional in the Tampa area to do this?  Normally I would not hesitate to take this on myself (I am a bit of a perfectionist), but my new job ties up so much of my time I think I'll have to get someone to do the work.

Thanks!

Bruce
