Thanks for the reply Cap. So if I understand all the photos I've seen in all my browsing... if I cut through that vertical support and remove it carefully and the rip out the battery box and then I pull out the glass layer and wood underneath the battery box. When it's all cleaned up I should be left with another layer of orginal glass and resin that makes up the inner side of the hull at this point? All this wood should be separated by other layers of glass from the hull correct? Thanks for the info.
