    I am currently fixing up a 1986 Winner Escape 1900 runabout.

    Does anyone have experience or knowledge of replacing floor in a boat where the front of the deck is fiberglass and sits on the plywood. I can not seperate this 2000 pound hull from deck. Any creative ways that I could do this so I don't have to junk the boat.

    Thanks!

    Sounds like you may have to separate the cap of the boat from the hull.

    Part of the connection is usually behind the rub rails. The rest can be in various places. Best wishes
