Hey Randy, Sorry to learn of your accident and see the damage. My "go-to-guy" for fiberglass work is Andy of Boatworkstoday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9hfpOCnzEs&list=PLV97GZkHhpHOKR_y03zg98Cxe6VLOq83B He's pretty talky but knows his stuff and shares his professional knowledge. I would add a large piece of G-10 under the deck to make it stronger. Of course, if you make it stronger, the pulpit will take the impact and bend on you, and next time, you'll have to straighten the pulpit. Hope this helps, Chuck
