Pull up the floor?

[jmvotto]

I think I got all the screws out, but will check again.

How easy (or hard) did the floor come up?

Eric.

I pulled it twice, the first seemed to get stuck around the walk way area by the steering wheel.

Other than that pretty easy. Pulled it out myself. I thought mine was stuck but I wiggled it out.

This is hte year for the interior.... lemme know if you were able to get it out.

ok, this is how my 03 was.

in pic 3, remove the rear side seats.
kneel down in front of the side seat and stick your head down in there looking back at where your knees would be
along the seat base i found 3 screws going into the floor
the floor was easy to lift once all the screws were removed.

so im thinking you have the same screws holding it down

+1 on this. This is how my 05 is too. There are screws coming in from the base of the rear seats into the floor. They are a little hard to find even if you know they are there, so look closely. I don't remember the exact count, but it seems like I remove three or so from the portside rear, 3 or so from the starboard side rear, and 3 more from the portside seat to the right of the "cooler" seat.

Thanks guys, I thought there might be more and hadn't considered looking there.

I didn't just want to yank and break!!

Yep

I'm wondering what you are wanting the floor up for though...there's nothing under there but the gas tank and a channel (carved out of the gas tank) through which a bunch of cables run from the helm back to the v-drive area. Not any space under there to install pumps I don't think. And there's no existing pumps under there as far as I know, but of course I have an 05 LSV. My pumps are sitting on top of the V-drive.

I'll have to admit that I didn't read the middle part of this thread, but I know that the gist of it is that you're trying to upgrade your ballast system.

i assume he wants to run the ballast hose and wiring from the front to the back of the boat.. but you all know what assume means
