I have a 32 baja magnum and need to replace all the stringers and bulkheads around the fuel tank. The question I have is what is the proper way to remove the flooring to get to the complete stringer set up. I cant remove from rubrail up so was going to cut floor and just repair back after completion. Has anyone done this, or have pics of them doing this?

pulling a floor is a surgical procedure of somewhat precision. Yes you will have to cut and re install with some finish work. Since nearly all boats are designed and built differently there is no one place to cut. Its best to take some time and examine everything you can and look for ways to make the re installation easier. For example a friend of mine just re did every stick of wood in his 357 Formula. When he pulled the liner it was taken out in two big pieces with most of the cuts under seat cushions and coaming panels, there wasn't more then a few hours of finish work upon putting it back in. Best to think ahead as much as you can and dont be afraid to get creative. Much of this done on the fly
