My resto project has the top (deck) glassed onto the bottom (hull). When I remove the rub rail it is obvious that the deck was glassed onto the deck from the inside. There's a nice, straight gap running all around the joint between the deck and the hull. My boat needs a new transom and floor. It would be SO much easier to remove the old wood and replace it with the deck off, rather than cutting sections out to get to the wood. Plus, if I remove the deck instead of cutting sections out, I don't have to worry about re-gelcoating anything where I cut. But, if I take my grinder with a saw blade and run it all the way around the deck/hull joint from the outside to remove the deck, how difficult will it be to reglass the deck back onto the hull? Are there other ways at that point to re-attach the deck? I'm afraid that, yes, it will be much easier to replace the floor/transom, but will be a nightmare trying to get the deck lined up properly and then be at difficult angles to laminate new glass between this joint. You people are great! Thanks for the help.
