No cubbies or hatchways? Look for area's that you can unscrew as well. If none cut out a small section like a pumpkin lind so you can fit the piece of deck back in without it falling back through.

there's a short video in youtube...search 'mas epoxy' i think. you could also get an access hatch cover and just leave it, as another option.

looking at your picture removing the tank cover and motor cover should give you some access, to see how bad it is.

yeah ive done that. and i can see a few spots but id like to get a view of everything.

After looking at the links, i guess what everyone is saying is that i have to just cut the deck up in order to pull it out of the boat.

I was hoping that the plastic/fiberglass part came out as one piece and then i could cut or tear out the plywood underneath. hmm, i guess i just need to jump in their and figure things out.

Thanks for all of the replies.
