This is the floor portion that was saturated with fuel. In order to better do this job I am just cutting out the whole rear floor as well and reglassing down to the keel. Oh, heavens help me, don't let everything under this be rotted to heck too once I lift it. So far, after prying off old glass, the supports (stringers?) under the sides seem solid.

Now, Katrina is coming. Luckily, it isn't even a tropical storm any more but we are supposed to get massive rainfall and moderate to high winds - so we are doing our best to tie everything down snugly and cover it all up so it doesn't end up Lake Boatmore.
