When we did my buddy's, we used a sawzall to remove the floor. We did only
the back half. Take measurements at known places of the width of the boat,
before any cutting. When the floor is removed the sides will bow out from
the lack of support. We used long pipe clamps to pull it in when we
restored the flooring.

I have decided to replace the old floor in my 1986 Four Winns, as it
is start to get spongy and there is some rot in the hold compartment
underneath. My question is what method do any of you suggest to cut
out and remove the old floor. I would like to remove it in as few
pieces as poosible to have them as a templete. I am planning to use
good quality plywood and coat it with either epoxy or fiberglass.
