20yr old 1st time boat owner: floor restoration project

[FisherFanatic]

I bought a 16' 1963 dickschus fiberglass bass boat. I am trying to build a floor myself and am wondering exactly what steps to take. Everything im finding online is simply running me around in circles. From what ive found so far i need to get epoxy resin?? or something and put a layer on the very bottom. then do i build my supports for the gap between the bottom of my plywood to the floor and seal all edges off? I really dont know what im doing but with a little guidance im sure i can make this a quality project. please help me with the exact steps i should take or ideas from people who have already done this and have been through the trial/error deal of restoration. PLEASE HELP I APPRECIATE ANYONE EVEN READING THIS. IM TRYING TO FISH BEFORE SUMMER IS OVER! THANK YOU ALL FISHERMAN/BOATERS
