Default Hull Reinforcement

I have a 1986 Chris Craft Scorpion that I am the process of restoring. I had a soft spot in the floor so I removed the seats, flooring, and everything in the v-berth to put new floors in (I couldn't stop myself once I got started). My question is now that I am this far should I put some hull reinforcements in it and how and where should I put them. I have a 454 around 500 hp and a bravo going back in it. Along with some exterior upgrades to update its look. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

its never a bad idea to have a bit more support thrown in there while your at it. The older CC Scorps tended to be a bit flexy and could use it. Do you have any pics of the progress so far?

would have got to this sooner but got side tracked
