Re: 1971 21' Starcraft Chieftain (eventual restoration)
It's been awhile since I took mine out, but there were screws along the top, and i believe there were brackets on the inside of the cabin that screwed into the floor, then on the sides of the hull there were bolts that went all the way through the wall into some brackets.
You shouldn't need to take it off for anything but If you decide to (like I did) you can take off the rubrail and there are about 80 rivets to drill out and the whole "cap" will lift off.
-Can anyone explain (pictures would be a huge plus!) how the wall to the cuddy is removed? We'll need to remove it tomorrow to pull the next floor piece and I'm unclear on how it comes out.

-How is the top half of the cuddy held on the hull? I'm not planning to remove it unless it's necessary, but I'd like to know how it's secured just in case I run into a situation where I need it off.
