Are soft spots on foredeck dangerous?

Took the boat out of winter storage. Was on the foredeck and it felt soft on one side of the foredeck. Right of center, about 4-5 inches wide felt squishy. I weigh 187lbs. Should the deck flext at all with a guy with my weight? Does this affect the structural integrity? Should I sail it? Does the inside of the boat have to remain bone dry? I pulled out the cutty cabin and it felt slightly most. Can you do a hammer tap test on a 14.2 like you do on a larger boat?

Thanks,

Michael
