I want to remove the rear deck from my 18x56 fishing model godevil. I have seen an old thread about this, but would appreciate any pointers. The boat has a surface drive and the deck I believe was intended for longtail use. Please help me out as I want to do it right. |

I have a poling platform on the boat so I have plenty of fishing area. I really just want the extra space in the back of the boat. |

When I am standing to drive, I cannot keep the handle locked to hold the motor down in mud because it is too low. If I take the deck out I will not have that problem. Any pointers as to how to go about taking it out? |

Just start cuttin! As long as you pay enough attention to not cut the actual hull anything else can be fixed. I used a saw zall and cut the big majority out then a jig saw and got as close as I felt comfortable with then used a grinder with tiger discs to sand down the cuts the rest of the way to a smooth surface. The bottom part that connects to the floor is most likely riveted in thought and is pretty easy to break loose |
