I took all the screws out and the center board is tight as could be and would not come up. I removed the floor board over the live well pumps first also.
This is an old thread and we'll probably get scolded for replying to it... but, on that model boat the side storage compartment walls will need to be removed to remove the main deck.
Maybe you should start your own thread about your boat in the restoration forum.
ok, thanks guys, just was easy to ask and not start another thread. Sometimes you get scolded when you start a thread and they say, didn't ya do a search it's been asked. I don't mean this forum, other auto ones and such, so that's why, thanks.
