The side rails probally will not be a problem except for the torgue head screws. When you get to the rail in the floor it will be tough. I found that rather then heat, beat,chisel ect on the screws it was easier, once started, to pry the rail up with a 5 foot pry bar and snap the screw (bolt) head off. A short pry bar just doesn't do the trick, those bolts to the floor are tough. |

In my MC-8 I left the rails in place and installed luan over the existing plywood, on both sides of the rails leaving the rails exposed. The rails and the underlay are flush with each other and this provides an excellent anchor point for cabinets, furniture, and the dishwasher. In the galley areas the finish flooring is parquet oak and because the wood underlay and the rails are flush I was able to bridge across the rails with the parquet flooring in the dinette area. In the carpeted areas, the carpet underlay covers the rails and they do not show through the carpet. In the bath, I installed a second layer of luan as an underlay for roll flooring which is glued down. This underlay bridged the rails as well.
FWIW
