Removing V Berth Ceiling

[TTSC]

I need to remove some sections of the ceiling in order to get to the stanchion bolts. The strips of teak feel pretty solid, even after removing screws on one planks section. Are these tongue and groove or just screwed innedtbt each other? Any help to achieve non-destructive deconstruction would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone done this?

Mickey has done this I believe. He had pictures posted showing removal of interior. He is a great resource here. Very clever and hands on.

Good luck.

Thanks! So far I've discovered the ceiling is bedded in caulk in addition to being screwed😖.

Yes. You can use a fein tool with a blade like this. You have to be very careful you don't cut through the wood but this tool cuts through everything like butter. You can then go back and use it to clean up the excess caulk.
