As per a previous post I am cutting out my 200 gallon mild steel saddle tanks. Between the engines and the tanks there is a wall built tight against the tanks made out of 1/4 inch plywood and acoustic tile. The plywood is glued to four 2x2 hardwood posts that are bolted to stringers at the bottom and saloon floor joists at the top. My question is are these posts structural or can I permanently remove them?
When I have the tanks out I am thinking of doing some improvements to my engine room. A lot of the acoustic tiles are in pretty scuzzy condition. I wouldn't mind removing them completely on the walls. Don't know if that will increase the noise in the saloon. Wondering what others have done.
