I would not do all that, 2 inspection ports, air it out, fix leaks, works wonders! If you interested in another sunfish, I have 2, I need to sell, 1 , 1971, 1, 1978, both in good condition ready to sail, the 78 is in excellent condition with new sail and CRP rudder, ,,, my 2 cents worth opinion on that, WAY TOO MUCH work to separate the deck,,,, Hugh
