I started this because the other delamination issues deal with the deck.

The boat I just purchased I noticed a little spring in the cockpit, so crawling head first into a locker i seen bracing, half assed one by stuff.

My question is how to fix, I seen from the under side and another post the deck seems supported by longitudinal bracing, or scrap the fix and figue a way to mount a larger fuel tank there and act as a support, kinda a two-fer.
