New to this site, tons of great posts, knowledge and info. I’m a noobie to deck Replacement work and fiberglass work, but have started a project on my 1991 SE CC (it’s a barebones commercial hull - repowered in 2017 with a 175 Yamaha) to partially Replace deck due to soft spots and water seepage on seams from PO fuel tank replacement. I’ve been reviewing posts and am on a bit of info overload at this point, but I’m learning.
time to share some pics and ask some questions to get moving. I’ve completed initial removal/demo to good wood and reviewed post “21SE rehab “ from 2011 - very similar yet more extensive project .
good news - PO replaced fuel tank circa 2013 so NO leaking tank Or fuel, and
demo reveals all foam is bone dry! what I found was some rotted deck core and the port inside stringer (located next to fuel tank) rotted. So I think I’ve gotten to it before significant rot took place. Other stringers are solid.

now I’m figuring out how to repair one bad section of the rotted stringer and how to replace Decking I’ve removed.
Here are photos of demo and what I found:
