To cut out the liner, I had to deal with the outboard cut / wash well. That was the only part of the boat I didn't like! I never like the looks of them or the functionality. I could only think of being broke down in some rough water and having waves crash in to close to the cockpit... I got ballsy and decided to cut it out...

While it look like it took a few simple cuts to get the liner out, that was not the case!! The liner was glassed in the the stingers on the bottom side. I first used a grinder with a tile saw blade to cut it... That worked good when it was able to fit... For the tighter spots I used a Dremel.... That took forever!! I finally got to a point were I could not take it any longer.. From standing in the bilge where I cut the well out, I freeking yanked it loose.. I had enough!! Anger at its best. Never the less, I was able to break it free and get it out all by myself...

Some more....

To Get the liner out I had to cut some of the knees that connected the top of the stringers to the transom wall. That is were I found some carnage on one side! Surprisingly the other side looked good. But, just like a lot of things, you never know whats inside till you start cutting.

Here are some great shots of the matting peice I cut from the knee in the center pic

Two more pics. Still cant believe I got the liner out by myself... My back was not happy that day.

At this point I was still needed to cut more wood or hollow glass out. Next was the area where the batterys & oil tank were fastened down...

I knew I was close to cutting out a stringer so I wanted to support the hull as best as I could. First thing I bought were a set of four jack stands from Harbor Freight. I wanted to use the trailer for support but didn't want the boat to move when I climbed in and out. I use the stands to lift the trailer off the ground. Next, I borrowed 4 pad stands to put in all 4 corners of the boat..

Here's some more of the inside... You can see the remnants of the mud trails from the mighty mites.............

My next steps were to continue cutting out the cabin floor in the front. That needed to get out before I started to tackle a stringer....
