Hi, I'll bite. What's wrong with the "deck panel" on your Outrage? Soft, spongy? If so, and not a broken deck panel, then all you have to do is remove the deck and take off the old plywood core, clean up the underside of the deck panel and make a new one. Be sure to use lots of weight, free weights, concrete blocks, 5 gal. pales of water etc., when applying the new ply wood to get all the air pockets out.
I have one available but with freight prices, it is not economical for you. A good local fiberglass guy should be able to replicate one if the outside skin is too far gone.
Whalerman & Shad Burke, thank you for the replies, When I purchased the boat the floor panel had been removed and replaced with several pieces a very poorly designed cheap starboard. Shad Burke can you tell me what your panel would cost at your location, this is my first rodeo with restoring a whaler so any information is appreciated. Also where are you located, I would like to check LTL rates just in case.

How much is the panel at your location, my company does allot of shipping and I may be able to get a descent freight rate. What are the dimensions and weight, also any pictures.
