2005 SX230 floor cracking

[Paul Lagasse]

I am currently looking at buying a 2005 SX230 and only thing I could find wrong was the floor by the gas tank access panel is cracked (right at the latch) this the floor flexes. What are the chances entire floor is rotted around the table stand like other members versus just someone jumped on it and cracked it. Anyone else have this issue? Based on the design there is not a lot of support around the gas tank access panel

Thank you
Paul

If the floor seems springy then I would bet it is rotted out. I had the same issue with my boat and it is a known issue for our model years. When I got mine fixed I had it reinforced with aluminum and it is solid as a rock now!
