[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 162135, member: 412"] IIRC, the original floor is glued down to a "lip". I believe dad used a short blade saber saw to get most of the floor up and then gently used a wire brush, paint scrapers, and chisels to get the stuck on rotten wood off of the lip. Batteries were centered into the space between the front chair and the bow. They were stacked side-by-side the long way. On-board charger was in the starboard side storage compartment. Dad's livewell was splashing over the top and leaking into the hull prior to floor replacement. With your's being a tiller and having lots of weight towards the rear anyway, I'd seriously consider putting a fuel tank under the main floor. You'll plane out quicker and will have a lot less bow rise as well. You'll also ride better in choppy water getting that weight forward and down rather than having cans anywhere near the transom. Rusty memory wheels beginning to spin. Pretty sure we dug a little foam out of the stern end of the rod locker to make it longer. I don't think you can go forward with it as I believe you run into the live well. [/QUOTE]
