Mine flexed quite a bit. There is a cardboard tube covered in fiberglass that
runs the length of the main cabin sole starboard side of the bilge access. When
putting in the teak and holly floor they had drilled though it causing wayer to
deteriorate the structure and balsa core.I pulled mine, replaced the core with
divinity core and put it back in place. Now just need to replace the teak and
holly.

Subject: Re: Stus-List 30mki cabin sole support
I find it odd that your cabin sole flexes so much. Have you checked your mast
step . If it has dropped or the wood support is rotten as it sits in water then
it may be the cause of your weak sole . I own a 1979 era 30 and my cabin sole
is solid . I also have teak and holly through out the cabin . Instead of foam
you could epoxy in some hard wood wedges in the troublesome area. I would
investigate it more as to why it is so weak though
