Soft foredeck on a 1975 25

[tpothen]

I am looking at a 75 Oday 25, overall it is in good condition. The only real concern I have is the foredeck seems soft. It does not seem like it is soft from moisture as the areas around all the hardware is solid it seems like it is just from no support underneath. Is this typical with the 25's? the main area where the deck flexes is half way between the edge and the center and does this on both sides of the center line. I can feel it flex as I step down. Thanks.

There's something going on in the deck. You should be able to dance on the foredeck.

I would be very concerned. As RBone said you should be able to jump up and down on the deck with no notice of it being soft.
