Exactly.....indentation that says, "cut along here if you need to remove fuel tank." I thought V20's have a hatch?

Oh... yep..100% solid fiberglass with wood glued to the bottom of it. But they never sealed the wood, so it rots out after it gets wet... And it will always get wet just from evaporation from the bilge... That's why so many V21's have the soft floor problem, especially up front in the helm area. <sigh>

Rob, I'm ok with the "happy" curved windshield but access to the fuel tank is pretty much non-existent!
Ain't cutting this floor unless it is soft. Will sell this SOB before I cut a perfectly good floor.

B - check out my thread in Repairs - Help removing hose barb from poly tank.....it explains why I needed better access to the tank. I've overcome all of those issues getting access, now I've pumped out the tank best I could - lots of trash in there. I am going to do some more pumping this evening.....even add a little clean gas and pump some more until I feel I've gotten most of the clutter out.....
Looking like my floor is safe from being cut - for now, thankfully!

Blue, I have a carter marine fuel pump that i picked up somewhere that has a water separating filter in front of it, i use it to polish fuel tanks all the time, I hook it up to the outlet on the tank, and pump it back in thru the fill, that way it keeps everything stirred up, so it will pump out and get caught by the filter, in bad cases, I pull the sender out, and have a piece of hard line that I attach to the end of the suction ,line, I use it to vacuum specific areas of the tank> I've left it hooked up the fuel tank, secured the pump in the boat, and drove around the neighbor hood to get it all sloshed up. It works pretty good.

Hey Destroyer, have a Q for you....when you installed the new floor did you leave a ledge around the outside edge of the floor bottom? and did you lay your wood on top of that edge and fasten down? I guess what I'm asking is how did you attach it down? I have my own ideas but wanted your advice....
