I have a 1994 Hunter 26 water ballast. Does anyone know for sure if the cabin floor is or is not the top of the water ballast tank? This is the recessed area for the wood insert in the floor. See the attached picture.
I am replacing the wood insert in the cabin floor. Mine was screwed down around the edges. It also was glued. More than half of the screw holes went all the way through the 1/4" (about) fiberglass floor. I was able to insert a smaller drill bit in these holes and could feel another hard layer about 3/4" below.
My sense is the second hard layer I am feeling is the top of the ballast tank. You can see inside the access door for the tank valve that it looks like the top of the tank slopes down all around where it meets fiberglass that forms this compartment. This makes me think there are two layers here.
