Even though well taken care of, I realize the boat is 25 yr old. but
with the care I take of it plus the previous owners, can a floor just
normally rot out when it's kept normally dry?

I hate pulling the seats, peeling off the carpet and replacing the
wood.

The problem is the carpet. * It retains moisture and creates a warm
dark place next to the wood, just what rot likes best. *My old
runabout was a 1979 Winner 24 which was a pretty well built boat but
it eventually developed floor rot *in one area that was carpeted.

Oh wow, Wayne, I never thought of that, but I think you're probably
right. Yeah, that carpet would keep the wood moist . Odd. the whole
floor is carpeted and it's wierd that it would get spoungy right in
that one spot.

Probably when it's sitting there the bow is high and that's where the
water in the carpet naturally flows to.
