Search this forum and the boatbuilding subforums and you'll find a number of existing threads on replacing the cockpit sole.

Have you started removing the rotten wood yet? Sometimes you'll find the damage is more extensive than you thought (bulkheads, stringers, gas tank corrosion from moist foam touching it, etc.), so look carefully while you are surveying for damage.
