Catalina 36 deck fix

[mx118]

hi All, have a question which likely has been much talked about. Have a 1992 Catalina 36 with a soft spot on the deck. Probably has started with moisture introduced at the port shroud chainplate. I realize the possibility if it is vaguely noticeable, it is probably larger than imagined. Any insight into how much this could cost USD. The spot for purposes of a rough starting estimate would be about 12" X 12".
Thanks in advance and sorry if this thread is located elsewhere.

Depends upon how you want to go about fixing it. Materials for doing it yourself, from the inside, likely around $100 if you get small enough amounts of resin and can remove & replace the headliner without it getting damaged. If you want the yard to do it and can’t get at it from the inside (which means having to cut out and re-do the nonskid pattern in the deck, and match surfaces and colors) perhaps one or two thousand, depending upon how big the repair actually needs to be. Don’t forget to re-seal the chainplate so it doesn’t happen again.
