Repairing old patches in Floor

[ralpht44]

Hi all, I have a couple spots in my floor, one on the center piece near the flange for the fuel tank and the other up under the wheel where it was patched and looks like hell. It does not quality work at all. I have to redo because it is driving me crazy however I have never done fiberglass work. Could someone help me out on material I need and some pointers for a first timer?

Hi Ralph, can you post some pics of the spots you're referring to?  Then the group will have a better idea of what it will take.

Biggest problem may be matching the factory diamond-pattern non-skid surface after you do your repairs.  When I do the decks on my 240 I'm going to sand off all the diamond pattern and put down my own (actually RickK's system) non-skid surface.  The diamond pattern isn't nearly agressive enough in my opinion especially with fish slime/fish scales/barf and God knows what else on the decks.  Lots of opinions about deck treatments here on the site so look around some and decide which best fits your needs.

What's Rick K's system?

The commercial guys and many others use Duraback - it's better than the original diamond pattern - and comes in some nice colors!:
