Any pointers Before I cut my floor out!!!

Now if you are real antsy to do something with the floor, got some suggestions but it's gonna be time consuming.
First evaluate the transom as to redoing it, go ahead and make it a 25".
Consider raising the floor a few inches to make the boat self bailing.
Now you need to consider fuel tank location and floor boxes. I'd plan to add foam.
If that boat don't have a water line mark to determine floor height reference, I can give you a pretty close number.

that is good to know, thanks
its a good thing i asked before i ripped out the floor and found no damn foam! That just saved me a lot of time!

Why is there no foam in the hull of a 74?

So that actually make my boat lighter?

Were they at the test stage of different ideas?

Does any body know of a site of the Wellcraft history?

Can't remember what year it was mandated for certain size boats to have a percentage of flotation foam, seems like it was 1976 or '77.
The correct foam type is exceptional for trailer queens and adds very good support.
If you are somehow bypassing it, look at this page and click History, Gallery or Links.

I'm pretty sure foam wasn't required until the early 1980s - maybe 1982 or 1984. My current V20 is a 1980 and it has no foam. Neither did the 1978 I had before this one.

my 84 only has foam in gas tank area
