Rich,
Not sure I really need to go that far. I will post some photo's when I get home on sunday. I am thinking if i make up a gelcoat patch and fill the holes I should be good. The screws are tiny, #6 3/4 inch at best. There is just lots of them. Since I need to wet sand anyway, i don't have to be that neat.
As for gelcoating, It would probably be easier to sand off the non-skid and the glue and just regelcoat. I am considering that option, depending on how far I get with glue removal. There are really 4 spots on the floor that need fiberglass work since they are open holes or cracks thru to the foam. I will make a couple more, when I drill holes in some areas I know are wet, before I flip it.
I will take and post some progress photo's after the holiday
