Deck Removal?
Picked up a 72 Glastron 177 "Swinger" (no comments please :-) ) and it is a project. The floor is spongy so I know it needs replacing, maybe the stringers too. Pulled the carpet and boy, was the factory cheap on the resin covering the floor! There are holes in the matting where the resin wasn't worn - it was just never flowed!
Anyway, to remove the floor, do I grind, sand or cut the bond along the side hull? I don't want to cut too deep and compromise the hull, so I am thinking a good 60 grit wheel to remove the resin and matting then pull the boards..
Am I on the right track?
Thanks
