I removed the old deck in my 1985 starcraft fm160. 3 pieces covered most of the boat floor with a small 2 foot long piece in the bow. As you can see in the pictures there is a lip the deck fit under which was then screwed into the plywood. The only way I could see to get the ?” plywood floor out was to cut down the center along the keel with my circular saw then remove the two halves. There is an L shaped lip riveted To the hull that the deck edges are positioned under and I didn't want to drill holes in the hull to remove the wood. I got the deck out but I was wondering how would I get new wood in. Perhaps I can simply bend the lip up, insert the deck and straighten it again. Or, maybe I could cut the new wood down the center and install extra support below deck. Or, will I have to remove the rivets and reinstall after deck is in position? Also the the poured foam seems dry all the way down. Any potential problems leaving old but seemingly good foam in place?
