    And Tim looking rather pleased to be holding a big chunk of my floor in his hands...

    For what it's worth, the cockpit floor was solid as a rock and seemed very well put together and supported.

    He had a handy little drill bit to center a pilot hole for the pilot hole - if that makes sense. It made for very quick and accurate work of the screw holes. I must get one.

    You can see how much easier it will be to get into the bowels of the boat now...
