Cockpit area soft spot- 6"x6" Area of Delmanition and cracked
The surveyor mentioned that, and I noticed that when I looked at it. It needs new coring and to be re-fiberglassed again. I think that will be the first exterior repair I do. I think "Tenders" has a good post about replacing the entire cockpit floor, I may just do the area that's buggered up though at first. I'm not entirely sure if it affects the tiller head, but when I re-core it, I'll beef it up as necessary.
BTW, the fuel tank leaked as soon as I put gas in it. Replaced it before the survey with a 12 gal plastic Moeller. I don't plan on any trips down the ICW, so a smaller fuel tank is fine with me.

Oh yeah... and don't forget the other rotted bulkhead. May as well knock em all out at the same time.
How bad is the damage at the rudder post?
I nearly put my foot through the cockpit at the tiller handle head.
