LOL, mfb I just read your reply really fast and I thought for a second that you said "chain saws" not "chain falls". My eyes got as big as saucers.

Seriously though - I think it was Bob Barker one other (maybe reddog) who said that they just took out the screws and either used epoxy in the screw holes and/or through bolted them and it made a big difference. I don't think I have the tools and help it would take to seperate the deck from the hull like you're talking about. I assume you did that just to get the old epoxy (or whatever they used) out. Or, was this important in re-bonding the deck to the hull? It sounds like I'd have to pay to have that done and I'm sure that could get really expensive. Any suggestions?

Audiofn - your method sounds easier. You were able to push the hull back enough to really get in there?
