ok, i drilled 2 holes in the deck about 4' from the rear of the hull. i drilled an 1/16 test hole and went just through where I thought the outer layer of fiberglass would be. i then pushed a nail down to find out how thick the foam was and it just kept on going in. I then went arround to the back of the boat and looked in the drain holes.( I can't get the inspection ports off.)and what I saw was what I thought to be fiberglass cloth resined on to the inside of the deck(where I had drilled) and the inside of the hulls. I may be wrong, and this may be normal, but I am so new to this that I am not sure what I am dealing with. When I got the boat a neighbor came over and told me that the soft spots were not a big deal and about how to fix them in a hobie like he had. But now that I get in to do that work I find that it won't be anything like I thought it would be. Also THANK YOU for all the help, I would be lost without it. Also, my Dad is reading this post to help him fix his own soft spots.
