Has anyone replaced a floor on a 1998 Shabah 210? Are the floors glass or wood on them. I'm going to go look at one that according to the seller needs a floor (this is what is marina told him) but he has no idea what the floor is made of...

If I am not mistaken (someone correct me if I am wrong) but it is all fiberglass hull, wood stringer (fiberglass overlay), and fiberglass flooring

If you have glued in carpet, the main part of the floor is plywood. it is approximately 4ft wide and runs to the bow. On either side of the plywood, the floor is fiberglass and there would be no way to replace that unless you took the entire boat apart as it is part of the fiberglass stringer system.

Thanks I will be checking it out this weekend.

So it turns out the floor is fine (all fibreglass). The issue is the hull is cracked about 8-9" up from the keel on both sides (first chine) in the ski locker area (about where your feet sit). Looks like it's an old repair that has failed again.... From what I see the marina stores the boat on a wood racking system and it was dropped on that spot. This was probably the reason for the first repair 10-12 years ago (has been stored at the same marina since new). I've looked over the rest of the hull and it looks solid, can't find any other stress cracks or damage. Has anyone repaired the hull on a 1998? I've done stringers, floors and transoms before so I have a pretty good idea what needs to be done. I believe I can remove the center section of the floor cause it looks like it is screwed in. Then cut out the old repair and make my new one between the fibreglass "stringers" inside the ski locker... Any ideas or input?
