I find it odd that your cabin sole flexes so much. Have you checked your mast 
step . If it has dropped or the wood support is rotten as it sits in water then 
it may be the cause of your weak sole . I own a 1979 era 30 and my cabin sole 
is solid . I also have teak and holly through out the cabin . Instead of foam 
you could epoxy in some hard wood wedges in the troublesome area. I would 
investigate it more as to why it is so weak though
