new carver with softspots
Howdy all Just wanted to jump in here and interduce myself. I have had Carvers for about 10 years now and just purchased another one. I started with a Carver500CPMY and just purchased a 564CPMY. We don't go out to sea much so this is the perfect vessel for us. I will up we purchased. On my 500 the cockpit floor was one piece and was not removable. We have to get a softspot fixed on the new boat and are being told the whole cockpit floor just screws in and can be removed. I am not sure I believe this for 2 reasons. 1) the size of the floor - if this comes out as a whole it would be at 18 feet by 8 feet or so. B) I am not sure what the purpose would be to make the floor removable except to maybe repair softspots. Thanks for the help!

Re: new carver with softspots
I have a soft spot on my cockpit floor also. I have a 2005 33SS. It appears to be a deck with a core in it. it's 11x7 held down with a bunch of long screws. I was going to remove it and re-glass the bottom of it , but the more I looked at it today I was wondering if i could drill some holes in it and pump some filler in it? It appears to be a very thick floor.Did you ever do anything with yours?

Re: new carver with softspots
Welcome to the neighborhood! I believe the cockpit floor does come out as one piece. My Mariner does the same thing. I can see heavy screws along the edge of the floor. The floor coming out provides access to the engine room, in the event an engine would need to be removed for repair. Your engines are probably more midship, but that may account for the actual purpose of floor removal. Good luck!
