Removing the bulkhead
By bulk head I am referring to the plywood that seperates the main passenger area from under the bow.
When I removed the old one, I found that on the one side it was no longer fastened to the hull, and in a lot of places it had cracked which reduced its overall strength.
The bulk head was, however, securely fastened to the floor and when pulling it out I ended up removing another section of the floor in the bow of the boat.
That is ok, however, because it was easy to replace and made installing the new bulk head easier.
