Taking a V-20 apart
I have a 1970 Cuddy that I'll be getting into in the next few months, I was wondering how they come apart. In another thread someone mentionted an inner liner. I know it splits at the rail. But how is the liner attached to the wood flooring underneath or is it, How is the wood flooring underneath attached to the stringers?

you need to remove the rub rail, then get all the screws out, then lift the cap off then the liner, its 3 pieces.
Liner is just glued to the stringers, but after all these years it will come apart ok.

Is the wood floor going to come out with liner or stay attached to the stringers?

The wood floor will come out with the liner. Then you can flip the liner over and remove thge wood and make what repairs are needed.

That was me who said something about taking the boat apart and its really not that hard of a job. I have a 1983 CC which I took apart to replace the transom. First I removed the motor and then started on the CC. I first bunched all of the wires to each guage together and labled them (like gas guage wires taped together and labled). Before I disconected any wires from them I took different color nail polish and hit the terminal and the wire. Now I had them grouped together and color cordinated by guage. I did this for the entire wiring and it made things much easier when it came time to rewire the boat. We then removed the CC and removed the rube rail and all the screws under the rub rail. Then We went around and disconected any other stuff like gas lines etc.. I then attached a rope to the two rear cleats and one to the front and tied them together in the center so it pulled up even. I then ran a rope through the pully and attached it to a truck. My buddy inched forward as I watch what was going on with the boat. We got it up about a 2 feet and then checked again to see if everthing was disconected (if you need to reach in to disconect anything brace the inner linner so if it falls). He then started edging forward raising the boat and this is where I had my only problem. as he went forward again I heard a crack and next thing I know the branch on the tree gave out and the linner came back down. Lucky for me the branch stayed up in the tree (use a thicker branch). We hooked everything back up, he rasied the linner and we pushed the hull out of the way (it was on a trailer) and lowered it back down. Fixed the transom and put it back together. I had two friends helping and we had the boat apart in one day. I hope this helps and if you have any questions let me know.

Thank You!
Wow you guys are so helpful....I can hardly wait to get started. I said a couple months but I really want to get this project moving!!!! How heavy is the inner liner once you get it out. Is it too heavy for three guys to move it around and flip it over and stuff?
