If you're going to do all that....plan on not fishing this year. Once you pull the floor up, there's no goin back. Don't ask...
I was able to lift the floor boards out. So I'll be anchoring the seat bases to the decking. The guy I bought it off of replaced the floor with particle board. I just don't want to put the time or money into it. I'm going to seal the flooring as best as I can, put some Styrofoam down to replace what the mice have chewed up, and close it back up with the pedestals anchored to the floor with fender washers and nuts and bolts. Far from perfect, I know, but I'll be selling it next spring. I'll tell the prospective owners about the flooring issues.
