Hi Chris,

In my '73, the edges of the plywood were also darkened.  I had rot under 
the rear window, the front window and on either side of the door.  These 
seem to be the hot spots for leakage.  if you have had plumbing 
problems, the bathroom floor can be a little scary too. otherwise, you 
can ignore the stains if the wood is sound.

Penetrating epoxy is the weapon of choice for punky or even rotten 
areas.  It will turn a pile of punk into indestructible 
better-than-wood.  So a well epoxy soaked elderly piece of plywood is 
superior to new plywood. And a LOT easier .  The floor is laid on the 
bottom frame and then the top shell is bolted to that, so replacing the 
plywood is not easy.

Not sure about the shower pan drain. I think it might unscrew. 'course 
you will need a tame octopus to do it....
