When I purchased my boat it had some water damage from a leaking forward hatch. this was the result the pic is after I tore up the old rotted floor. Below are a few pics of my repair, sorry for the yellow pics the light was not great as I did all the work at night with a shop light.
This is what I started with after removing the damaged cabin floor, after looking around I found the section of floor is supported in sections inside hatches. I decided if I'm going to do the work I should do it properly.
you can see that I removed the old rotted floor, to get this far I had to remove starboard and Port rear berth tops and all hardware.
this is what is left, the white wood floor is the angled section. After removing all the old wood and berth sections you can see it is a lot easier to work and repair this floor section as all the supports are easy to get to and flat.
I made a template out of cardboard and used it to cut my new floor. I wish I had the $$ to use the teak and holly to match the rest of the cabin. 
A quick test fit and it's ready to go back together. after putting it all back together
Note: I would suggest to lay up all the berth section including top parts before attaching the curved part to make sure it all fits.

All done, you can see in this pic that I also replace the Port upper berth top. all that is left is a few finish coats and should be like new.
