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 am only doing this once so I want it to be strong and right. I have a 454 around 500 hp and a bravo going back in it. Along with some exterior upgrades to update its look. Taking off the SS hardware, making custom fiberglass vents, removing the windshield to build a fiberglass windscreen and finally paint and interior. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue with my 87' I added heavy roving everywhere I could reach as the lay up is not that heavy in the hull I used west epoxy for the resin. also layed up the floor in cabin with roving and mattover 1/4" laminated plywood
