Dave I have cut my floor out to do a rhd conversion, and it doesn't appear to cause any structural problems. I didn't cut further than the edges, so the pontoon bits were left intact. There is a lot of extra room under there, so I think it will be worth the trouble. Good luck with the project, I like the sound of it.
