I got access under the floor by cutting it out. I cut out two large panels. There were two issues putting them back in, both with the front panel. The first is in the front starboard corner of the panel, it wasn't secured and so that corner sticks up. That will need to be ground down and glassed, as will all the seams. The second was attaching the panel to the sheer brace. There are ridges on the underside of the deck, probably acting like fiberglass struts and it wouldn't fit down tight on the shear brace. More grinding and glass work. There will be lots of glass work on the inside floor. Once that is completed, i will probably just spray the deck with new gelcoat

Jack, if you haven't checked out my project album, you should take a look.
