apparently, it is separating inside the rod holder area up front. I did not think this would be an issue, my plan would be to cut out the deck and most of the liner. I like the way mark's boat is set up with the rod holder aft and most of the liner removed. When people take out the deck, what are most doing about the casting platform. I would assume that this area would be soft like the rest of the deck. Has anyone rebuilt similar to the current boats...deck all one level. Also what is the lifespan of fiberglass. These boats are 30 plus years. With the deck and floor up, does it make sense to had a complete layer of mat/glass over the inside of the hull. I would assume that one of the reasons other than the hull design, the ride quality has something to do with weight placement. When you start removing decks and hatch covers to rebuild out of core vs. plywood, would it be reasonable to add back some of the weight with additional glass below?
