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?

when I put the new wood in I "glued" it in place with resin that I thickened with West system adhesive filler. I applied it with a notched trowel. Then I put a fresh layer of woven roving over the whole thing. When I put the floor back in I used West 610. But I used a lot. I think 8 tubes. 5200 would probably work fine too. West offers empty calk tubes that you can mix up your own thickened epoxy and put into the tube.

Did you remove the thick resin on top of the stringers that filled the gap to the floor? or did you just put your resin on top or that?

I removed all the old stuff. The stuff that was on my boat was sticky and a real mess to work around so I got rid of it all
