Deck removed

The next step was to remove the rubrail and deck, so the transom could be replaced and the remainder of the floor could be installed. The rubrail extrusion was held on with not less than 150 screws. Some were in relatively good condition and could be reused. Most were rusted pretty bad and were replaced with new stainless screws.
