I recored every hatch and the transom in my 20' sf. When I had good wood that was still attached to the skin I used a skill saw with the blade set very shallow, maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Then I cut a checker board pattern in the good wood. With a screwdriver or a very small pry bar you can usually peel back some of the layers of the plywood. Then you can use a grinder with a 24 grit disk to remove the bulk of whats remaining. Be careful as the 24 grit disk is very aggressive. When you get close to the glass surface, switch to a less aggressive disk. I like 80 grit at that point. Hope this helps. There's really no easy way to remove all that wood.
