Hello again everybody. I have an old astroglass bass boat that need the deck removed to get to the floor/stringers etc. I have drilled out all the rivets and cut the tape holding the bulkhead and seats. Anything else I need to do before I lift the deck off? Also, should I simply recruit the neighbors to help me get it off or is there some other way I should lift it off? The next question is premature, however, when I do replace the deck later, should I replace the rivets I removed or should I fill the holes and use screws? Sorry gang, first project and I'm somewhat overwhelmes - but okay. Thanks for your advice. It is certainly appreciated.
