Mine was a 2006, does it have the rear compartment flange going forward like below, with visible screws just on either side of the tank cover? If so, mine was just slid under. Keep in mind, if that panel has not been removed in 15+ years, it’s going to need some help, maybe with a putty knife, to break to gap between the floor panel and the side ones.

I can get mine wedged up to look under believe I may have to wiggle it out or soft mallet and give it a little help thanks for the post and pic.
There should be some screws on each side of the middle floor panel on the carpeted flange coming down to the floor from the live well. Unscrew these screws and pry up the flange carefully and then you will be able to slide the panel out towards the front of the boat. Its tight and a pain but it will slide out.
