Look up under the cap and youll be able to see if it still has the liner, itll be screwed or thrubolted. If cutting the floor out, come in from the hullsides a few inches with your cut so you still have that horizontal surface to tab back into.
And absolutely cut the biggest openings you can manage for access in that stern bulkhead! |

Under the cap appears to be strips of wood glued or screwed to the cap in places. In other words, the pieces of wood seem to be where the rod holders are etc. I don’t see any bolts or screws but I will take some pictures to show what I mean. Thanks for the guidance on the floor. For the fuel tank, it appears there is just a small hole where the fill line etc comes out but that’s it. I am just guessing that as I remove everything from the console and finally remove the console, more of the floor will need attention than just where the fuel tank is. Also seems to make sense if I am cutting that much of the floor to replace the tank, maybe makes sense to address the whole thing. Just not sure what structure is actually under the floor as near the hull sides seem to be the softest and I assumed that is where the most support would be.

Attached are pictures I took underneath the cap. Not sure I can tell much, it just appears it is one piece rather than a liner? I don’t see any through bolts or screws other than the screws from the rub rail coming through. Also took a picture of how I imagine you would cut the floor but question the vertical pieces. Are these structural that go down the hull to the other side? I imagine you cut around them as indicated?
