I'm looking to remove the cabin sole/floor so that I can get a much better glimpse of the structural support and bilge area, and replace it with feax teak or some other material with removable hatches to expose the bilge as necessary.
My concern/question is that the sole/floor appears to be part of a giant inner fiberglass mold. I didn't know if it was wise to try and cut it out. Has anyone ever removed/cut out this fiberglass sole to replace it with another flooring type?
I've attached a couple of photos showing the attachment points at the bilge, as well as an overall picture of the floor.
This is my first sailboat, so any and all advice would be much appreciated!
