Not a bad looking boat at all. How much did you pay ??
So how do you reinstall the floor now, so the floor just doesnt flop in ?, install brackets to keep the side flush ?
Tricks of the trade I guess.

Hey Dab,
I noticed the transom has rods run to the bilge area. That's a sure sign the transom is shot. You'd be better off to cut the whole floor out transom to the dash and all sides. You'll have to cut the cap to put a new transom as well unless you are removing the whole cap.

The Transom is probably rotted . . . but I would do the transom repair from the outside, rather than inside out. Unless the desk cap core is rotted out too . . . I'd leave the deck cap alone.

Here's a good example of redoing the transom from the outside.

make it a solid 25 inch transom don't put the 5 inch drop back in it. or go solid with bracket.

 

[dabiroc]

iam thinkin off building a jack plate but i dont know the formula on where 2 put it

better off to build it even all the way across since it's out see where mine was built from like yours to a 28 inch in the center but that's for twin 25 inch motors.
