Can you get to the underside? Had a problem like that with a Catalina 22 and
was able to access thru a cockpit locker.
The foam "core" had rotted in the center because of a leak (crack in sole).
I ripped the foam out and fit a couple pieces (to ease installation) of 3/4
marine ply, slathered well with thickened epoxy and screwed in place from
above. After the epoxy kicked, I fixed and dressed up the crack in the
cockpit sole. Solid as a rock.

My daysail boat open cockpit (Tempest22) floor is making cracking noise
when I walk on it.
There is small crack also.I patched the crack with fiberglass cloth.
Now I have to solve the problem to prevent farther cracks.
I 'm considering 2 options:
Cover the floor with playwood and fiberglass over- details like non
skid and glue between playwood and current flooring arise . Someone
recommended applying expendable foam to seal the playwood to floor

Second option is to re fiberglass with cloth and several layers , and fill
the space between hull and floor with expendable foam to support the
weight of the crew.
I lean toward 2 option.
please share your suggestions

Thank you.
