Yeah my gap was about the same. I basically cut the floor into three sections and it came right out. Most of the putty had broke loss from the floor. It was still glued to the stringers pretty good though.
I guess I am going to raise the floor 3-4" high. Mainly running some 2x6's from side to side every two feet. Where the seam in the plywood is going to be put 2 2x6's glassed together. Off course the 2x6's will be glassed to the stringers and hull and trimmed down to proper height. Then along the outside edge glass about an 1"- 1 1/2" ledge for the floor to sit on. Probably do that in 1/2" strips that I will steam so I can do it in one piece and fit the contour of the hull. I will put down some thickened resin and also screw the floor down. I may try and get away with 1/2" plywood and just put alot of glass on the bottom and top to make it all 3/4". That is what the original floor was. Of course my 23' I redid I put down 3/4 plywood. That was definatly strong.

How has yours been coming along? Any pics?
