    Deck Removal-16' Donzi outboard

    I've done searches on the net and this forum looking for information....I have read that the deck is (typical Donzi) tabbed to stringers and a 16 IO is supposedly easy with engine compartment access....does anyone know if the outboard well is also tabbed (and if so, how was it accessed...little hatches are just that little)? Anyone who has R&R'd a deck, how did you rejoin the hull deck joint at gunwale? And, if anyone has any other pertinent info, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!.......JB

    usually there are a tabs around the floor locker and the ski locker. both areas where you can get to when the deck is on the hull.
    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
    well raise a glass and think of me...
    When I'm home again,
    boys, I'll be buying!

    once you find and cut the tabs about 6 people can pop the deck and walk it off
    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
