Greetings,
M. H. Hoo boy. Welcome to the world of boating. Don't be discouraged. You can fix almost ANYTHING.
It looks like that is starboard side in the v-berth and the inside, at least is sagging a lot. IF the outer deck above that is really soft, and I suspect it IS really soft, as a VERY temporary fix, put a piece of plywood up and wedge something (2"x4" maybe) underneath so you won't go through the deck. Not much strength there at all.

I’m glad you decided to be proactive finding the leak. As I mentioned I another thread, remove the rot, replace with marine grade ply, kill any residual mold and spray surrounding area with wood petrifier.

I like the boatworks video. I will be following that guy.
Thank you for providing the link.
Is there any commonality between the boat in the video and your boat Hector? (Brand-wise)?
