Hey so this is a photo I have that I wanted to ask you guys about. This is near the cabin and is part of the cap.

Right where the metal rack in the front comes down.

Will that be hard to replace?

Also if you notice the decking here connecting to the side. That is just a piece of fiberglass coming down from the cap. How should I go about removing that.

Also suggestions on angles for more pictures would be welcome so I can get you the best shots and information.

Hey Nicky.....If she were mine (and I have one) I would get rid of that silly hardtop, contraption, builder never installed, or whatever it is, that's causing you a great amount of stress on your deck. To me...your boat is piece of art....and I would keep her that way. Make a swingset out the thing for the family and be a hero...:D Good Luck!

Sasto that is actually one of the first things I removed when started stripping it out. It was a horrible thing that I was in no way going to deal with. So yeah it is completely gone other than the bolts. I put my battery powered sawz all to the test there

Nope I haven't. I keep putting it off while I want the trailer underneath it rot away.
