I'm the other one doing a floor now. I'm fishing my 1967 wellcraft 17' though. Ugly boat that I got from my father in law which gave be the boating bug again.
I'll comment on the West system as I asked a similar question. I ended up going with MAS which is similar epoxy based. I think either will be fine, but the guys did tell me that if i use epoxy resin I cannot use gelcoat over it.
In my case it didn't matter and i'm using epoxy. Very easy to work with and plenty of videos from West and MAS on you tube on how to use them.
On the cut, the picture above is my setup and I left about 1.5-2 inches around.
Currently trying to figure the best way to attach the floor back down. Phatdaddy was explaining that he put a lip onto the joint spot to have somthing to attach the floor to when reinstalling. I will probably have pics of my attempt at this in another 1-3 weeks.
