Are you talking about soft spots in the floor / sole?  If that’s the case, the most common quick repair is to drill closely spaced holes and inject with penetrating epoxy.   There are lots of the
threads on this site that show this method. 

If it’s soft spots in the transom, it’s best to rebuild the transom.

Here is a link to a video of how I injected the deck of my 170 a few years ago.  Still holding up great. (there are three parts total)
