[OTTERLY COOL]

STRICK

I didn't start a new thread because after reading this one - you are the person I need to talk to.

I have a 1974 23 CC I/O that I need to restore. I know some stuff and I have friends who know a lot more but first and foremost----

How do you get the innerliner and cap off without sawing the thing to death. I've removed the rub rail (about a half million screws) only to find another half million or so holding everything to the the hull - AND- it appears to be just about bonded together with 5250 or some other absurdly strong and dense silicone adhesive.

So first step - how do I break it up like you did to the 20 in the pictures at the top of this thread.

ANy info will be very appreciated
