Feels like the wood/glass runs all the way accross and would have to be CUT in order to get the fuel hatch off. Is this correct? Are V20 fuel hatches like this?

Not sure what you mean by the fuel hatch? Do you mean the center 8" floor hatch? The bulkheads under the floor are solid and run all the way across if that's what you mean. Ditto with the two braces on top of the tank. Most of the wood under my floor was completely rotted and a large part of it had fallen down on top of the tank, into the voids, etc... These are pics of what it looked like after cleaning up the rotted wood off the bottom of the deck and out of the hull.
