Well, I got a tiny bit done. Not near anything that should have been so far but this whole being sick and on all kinds of meds for 3 weeks now kicked my butt but I am now feeling up to working on the boat a bit now that I don't have to take them tasty non coated pills 3 times a day.
Today all I really managed to do was get the seats out and most of the carpet. The bottom cushions of the seat had wood bottoms and the wood was so wet it turned black. The back and seat base are all ABS though so I will be able to just get them redone at some point.
I also pulled all the carpet up and just scratched my head and said wow out loud to myself. lol
Here is the seats out and the carpet up. The back side of the seat box and the entire seat box sounds like just a hollow thin fiberglass box with no wood and it flexes like crazy in the back. Also not the lack of any glass/epoxy or anything on the floor. Only on the edges of the non marine grade plywood.

Notice the holes in the floor in the 2 pictures above and below. I am going to say 3-4 good whacks with the claw on the hammer to break the somewhat dry pot layer of wood then right into the mud! And that's just the floor.
Check out the lack of bonding on left side of the entire floor. I pealed a bunch of it up by hand. The right side was actually attached for the most part.
I would have been able to just pry the floor out I'm sure if it wasn't for the screws every 6 inches or so from the seat box area back. And as luck would have it they were all filled with glue or epoxy or whatever they used so they are all going to see the grinder.
Here are just a few more pictures I snapped today. Someone really took just about every shortcut on this thing at one time.
How do you like that fiberglass knee brace. If that's what it really is.
Well tomorrow I hope to have a lot more done. I seemed to have not brought back the right bucket of tools from my other garage so I had no grinder or anything really otherwise that floor would have been out in no time flat today. HOPEFULLY there will be more pics tomorrow with no floor and some other stuff gone.
