[QUOTE="jalockwood, post: 357937, member: 13522"] nice to see another one of these in some good hands! and to answer your flooring question, the side panels wouldn't necessarily need to come out unless youre wanting to re carpet the rear deck and the front face of the front casting deck (the panel that drops down from the casting deck to the main deck) the livewell was probably a lesser design however ive not quite got my boat on the water just yet so im not the one to ask on how well it actually works. The old livewell/ bilge holes in the transom worked just fine for me with some replacement attwood pumps I can give you the exact name of the two later if you wish. Ill be glad to answer as many questions as I can for you because I understand the challenge and how much work its been, its truly unbelievable but it should all be worth it in the end. The biggest challenge with taking that main floor out without removing the side panels will probably be getting the old board out, possibly with a pry bar unless its rotten to the point where the wood will just crumble for you and come on out. Also want to check your floatation foam it really will add on the weight if its sopped up water and is just holding it. I hope this helps feel free to stay in touch! [/QUOTE]
