My 2004 400 did have a soft upper deck, from the top of the stairs almost to the helm seat. Before I bought it, the boat never had a full enclosure, only a bimini with no side curtains so rain constantly washed the deck.
I had the repairs done last winter. The glass guy removed a good chunk of the floor and dug out the balsa. He replaced the core and epoxied everything before glassing it in. He then sanded the rest of the floor smooth and applied Awlgrip with a sand non-skid. Total was $5000. If I had wanted the diamond non-skid that was there, he would have had to make molds and the price tripled. Bottom line: it looks great, matches perfectly and is very solid.
Glass guy thinks the water got in through the screw holes fastening the table to the floor. Now we have a full enclosure so it won't be as exposed to rain as before.
