What is the best way to remove the floor in my boat that appears to be fiberglassed in?
I was able to tear up around a square foot of my floor back where the bilge pump sits, and the floor was completely rotted. The floor is soft and when hit with a hammer, it sounds hollow. However most of the floor is solid, and when hit with a hammer sounds solid. So I am not sure how far back the damage goes and need to rip up the floor to see.
my options are to try and repair the boat, or to buy a boat frame that is in good condition ad jsut move my engine to the new frame. there is a glastron 16 foot boat selling for 200.00 where i live. I am just not sure what is the better route.
What is the best way to remove my flooring? can I use a circular saw set to 1/2" cutting depth? most of the fiberglass on the floor is solid so ripping it up by hand will be difficult.
