87 Sunsport

I have an 87 Sunsport with a Skylon pole. It is getting progressively looser. I put a digital movie camera in through the bilge cover and asked my wife to move the pole, I didn't like what I saw: The pole has a steel bar running transversely and is welded to about 8"x8"x1/4 inch steel plates that are lag bolted to the sides. These lag bolts have pulled loose. I don't see how I can get to these plates without cutting hugh holes on either side of the floor.
I went through something similar when the lag bolts on the swim platform came loose. I had to cut through the back locker and install steel washers and then refiberglass.
Maybe I should replace the entire floor, since this is inevitable, maybe I should just get a tower.
