[QUOTE="Johnnyboy11, post: 518515, member: 35954"] I ground the heads as low as I could after I drilled the middles out and then used a chisel to shear the rest of the head off. Took a lot of leverage and some brute force to pop the floor up finally. I pried up with my lashing bar for chain lashing so hard that it was lifting the stern of the boat off the bunks on my trailer, it finally gave after a while. Also once you get the floor off you may have to tap the rest of the old rivets through the beams with a 1/4 inch punch. [/QUOTE]
