I have a h18 and have had other boats as well,when the boat is made and they come to the stage of putting the top deck on, like most speed boats that are made of fiberglass, They use a one part glue like liquid nails. what i would do is open up one of the inspection hatches ''the big one'' and use a mirror and torch so you can see where the glue line is. This will intern give you insight into your problem that you simply cannot see by looking on the out side. And you should mention why you need to take the deck off, There can sometimes be easier ways to do things,that don't always present themselves at first glance. I hope this has helped you.

He means FLASHLIGHT.. not flame-thrower!!!
I had a friend rip the deck lids off by running aground and the daggarboard ripped out from below... but i would not recommend that method

Hey Pepsi
I still use the term "torch" when I mean "flashlight", I also use the term "robot" when referring to a traffic light. Football is played with the foot and I still have problems driving on the wrong side of the road sitting on the wrong side of the car. Vasbyt Swaer.

Hey Rob,I like the robot term, anyway there is no glue line like in a power boat/speed boat, when they put the top deck on the lip also came over with the bottom hull lip,,meaning impossible to find join, so looking in hulls will get you know closer to the answer, even with a flashlight/torch.
