Ok so I'm gutting the interior... Plan is simple clean straight seats no bathroom no kitchen just seating and v berth. So my question is are the upright divider walls need for support or are they ok to take out?

Those sound like bulkheads, if that’s the case they are definitely important.

The divider walls are warped in carpet even on the edges and not attached to the floor or top deck just held in place by 4 screws on the sides. They are not glasses and don't appear to have supported anything.

Not only don't take them out, but reinforce them! Give me an email address, I can send you a lot of 40 Hawk cabin gut and redo photos.

Ok so I found 2 454s they are nothing special but at least I can get on the water. So I'm looking for exhaust for the boat all I have is the gil 4" tips out the back if anyone has some old plain Jane stock stuff laying around for cheap it would get me one step closer. Some day I will get good exhaust but right now I just can't spend the money. Let me know and thanks for all your help. Pics of progress soon just have been working a lot.

I found two pairs of exhaust with riser for $100. For all from a guy I know super happy about that. Next question and I have ask before but is my boat fiberglass or kevlar??? I'm gutting it and I cleaned one spot of glue off and its yellow. The v berth floor looks like plain old fiberglass the sides totally different.

Got most of it out still tons of clean-up before I can start any real work. What's the best thing to remove old glue?

Like me, looks like you have plenty to do. Lacquer thinner is good on old glue, just keep well ventilated.
