My 14' fiberglass trihull has a rotten floor. I need to remove the fiberglass liner and remove/replace the wood below. Looking for advice from those who have done something like this. Where exactly should I cut when removing the fiberglass? Right at the edge of the floor? Leave a lip? Or, should I make the cut under the rubrail and lift it all out, including the sides and gunwhale? Any advice appreciated.

The stringers will be rotten as well, quite possibly the transom too. Big project, make sure you love this boat enough to spend the time and money on it.
