Default Help Tank Removal

I thought this might get more attention if it was a single post. If I over stepped sorry.

Please HELPPPPP... I also have a 20 footer (1979 center console seacraft) that I am trying to restore but I am having a heck of a time getting the fuel tank out... I pulled my console, pulled the 3 "decklids",, un-bolted the 4 brackets on the fuel tank from the hull (2 bolts each),, took a sawsall and cut into the foam all around the tank,,, thinking that all of that would allow me to pull the tank out - I then took 2 floor jacks/double 2 by 4's and steel braided wire to pull the tank up and it didn't budge,, in fact the 2 by 4's were about to snap... Is there something else holding that in??
