Rookie questions about my boat

[crsavage1]

I purchased a 1968 19ft Moesly from a fellow board member and just making lists of what I would like to do and need to do. I have read most of the restoration threads but hoping someone might be able to shed a little light on the particulars that I am struggling with.

My particular boat has some history here on the forums as it was restored to some degree some time ago and may have started life as a bow rider. It's configuration has probably changed although there was some discussion that maybe it was just an early CC. Either way I am pretty certain the configuration has changed over time to some extent especially in the transom area of which I have another thread on.

In hindsight, I probably should have started with this thread and I ask for your patience but welcome your expertise.

The first two pictures below are my boat, the third are from Oldboat's restoration thread as I work to compare. I have also read several threads with members asking about pulling the liner vs replacing the floor. All Seacraft have liners, and are two or three piece? I thought that 3 piece boats were the #1 hull, #2 liner and #3 cap? So in my picture of the front, in theory it appears as though if you were strong enough you could turn the boat over and shake out the liner including the cap?

The second picture is trying to visualize if you needed to replace the floor (it needs a new fuel tank and concerned with some of the softer spots it may require more work than I thought) how would you cut it out and work to replace it? On some threads it appears as though some cut along the green line while other did the yellow line. I am unsure why they chose one or the other? In Oldboat's work, (picture 3) it appears he cut along the yellow line. In short, I am just trying to get a clear idea of how my boat is actually constructed because it has been changed so much. The closed transom and live well are neat but also obscure what exactly it looks like underneath. I used an endoscope to look through the sides of the fish box in front to try and get an idea. I saw big globs of yellowed foam on either side which I was a little surprised to see but again may be exactly how it should be.

I really do appreciate the education and apologize for my ignorance on some of this. I have done my best to search the forums for information and specifics.
