got this old fd, not sure the year it says FD 2810 though, i googled it to no avail i know its a late 50s early 60s 14 footer ..
it has some mionor leaks on the rivets / seams, and a small hole which is no problem, thats an easy fix.. my question is how the heck do i take of the bow deck?
ive taken off the bolts on each side, the bolts on the front kleet, the anchor pully bolts, everything and it wont slide off... on the first upper pic i took under the bow and theres a section where the deck slides into a groove on the gunwale, is that whats getting stuck? the bow deck itself isnt stuck or attacked to the gunwale but in that pic you can see where it slides in.... anyone have any experience with this? I wanted to take it off so its easier to clean and restore the bow/bow deck
i can take more pics of needed
