Cut the top skin off in sections, replace rotted plywood or end grain balsa core with epoxy impregnated plywood. Bed with epoxy + fibers and put coarse thread screws through plywood and inner skin to pull together and let dry then remove screws, fill holes, attach deck back on with 3" wide strips of glass after filling in the gap.

Wash, rinse, repeat.
