I started removing at the back where the rot was obvious. The
fibreglass  frame that surrounded the battery and gas compartment
is so ridged that I think I could just glue plywood to the top and caulk
it.
The centre stinger is 10 feet long the first 2 feet from under the bow
to just where the front seats would start is like new. The 6 feet after
that are rotted half way down so it's like a 2X6 at front that turns into
a 2X3.
The plywood showing is in great shape and the 2 other stringers are
wrapped into the fibreglass and seem solid.
The under bow view. The entire plywood floor except under the back
compartment for battery etc. Is nicely and tightly joined to the shell.
