Yes that was the plan, but unforchantly this is not the case. I had decided to performed some thruhull investigating that made me decide that it was time to redo the transom. Also the cap, deck, and latches have some rotten wood in them.
The first items to come off was the console, T-Top, and hardware.

Removing the gas tank was a bit of a challenge.
Someone had foamed in the sides, but I gut it out with a hand saw, and machete. I was worried about water damage to the tank were the foam was, and not to my surprise some damage did occur.
