I am in the midst of a 72 call 33' rebuild, and amongst the many surprises found, there was a ruptured cabin sole, right along the edge were you have the soft spot. Anyway, I removed that section of the cabin sole, and I am placing two cross sectional members in the keel well, after whih I plan to lay in a new cabin sole section, fiberglass/epoxy. It is my unsersatning that the cabin sole must not be bonded to the hull, which flexes back and forth depending on tach. As you, I'd like some feedback to confirm if my assumption is correct. Project is going along rathere well, by the time I'm done, which is about 16 months into the project and a lot of $$$$, I will pretty much be the proud owner of a bristol Call 33..... Thanks to all for the incredible information and extensive help!
