Start by removing the endcaps at the transom. Then just pull the rope out starting at one end. It will probably come out a lot easier than it will go back in. Under the rope you should find a screw about every 4 inches, or so. Remove them all. On my boat there were also screws beneath the rubrail. When you put the cap back on make sure to seal it up good with one or more tubes of 3M 5200 before reinstalling the rubrail. Fill the seam as well as all old screw holes.

thanks AW
What did you use for the gel coat repairs? How many coats of paint did you end up using?

New pictures of the cap removal process. Tipped it up and got the back part to seperate from the transom with out cracking. the bottom looks great, and I see why the floor got soft, looks like someone or wellcraft cut 4 big holes under the center console to be able to attach it with a threaded screw vs wood screws but didn't seal the holes. Also found a big empty spot under the front seat of the center console, never used looks like I can put another fule tank for added travel.
here are a few pictures, thanks for help.

Thats great. Having a forklift at your disposal really makes things easier. Now the fun begins. Cutting,grinding,fiberglassing,more grinding more fiberglassing. But it is worth it. keep the pics comming.

question on replacing the wood in the floor.
I see I can cut around the edges from the bottom side and take out the bad plywood so if I coat the new wood in resin and stick it back in would it be best to use a new piece of fiberglass woven over the wood or just use the piece I cut out and just glass the edges I cut back?

Also what are the choices when I put the floor back in as far as attaching it back to the stringers and bulk heads? Looks like they used some thick fluffy resin then put the floor in, others have said to use 5200?
What do you think is best?
