Need some help accessing fuel tank on Chris Craft

[Chuck McGill]

I've got a 1996 Chris Craft Concept 21 and I need to get to the gas tank to swap out the fuel lines. I already ried pulling the deck panel but it feels solid, like it's bonded down with carpet and I can't find any screws. Does anyone here know the trick to getting that floor section up without wrecking it?

Usually, those panels are hidden-screw setups. They're either hidden under the carpet edges or trim strips. If you do not see them, try feeling along the perimeter since Chris Crafts liked to hide fasteners pretty well. I would not force it up, man, because if it is glassed in, you could end up cracking more than you fix.
