Our 1969 Viking 28 had a cored deck... I'd bet, like SF, that yours is too.

Take a small plastic hammer or a screwdriver handle and tap all around the area you're concerned about. If it's cored (and separated) you'll hear a distinct difference in the sound of the tap. (sharp tap (good) to thud (delam)) If there's no such difference then perhaps it's a solid deck that needs some more support.... but I'd say its doubtful.
