Is the soft area small (area of a foot print)?
In one or more corners?
In the middle?
You can cut the backside skin of fiberglass with a dremel or cutting wheel then dig out the bad wood. Fill with git-rot and then re-epoxy the fiberglass skin.
If a large area I would slice the door/ hatch on the sides and peel off the front and back fiberglass skins and replace the center wood. Coat the wood entirely with epoxy and reattach the skins.
