I get that part but why cut out more than i have too?
1-Structural integrity of the finished repairs.
2-The idea is to remove foam only if you must
3-By removing the floor or deck you will have a better exposure of all foam and may be able to skip replacement and let thoroughly dry.
4-You can beef up the whole deck structure before re fiberglassing it to the gunwale cut outs.;)
