Hey Fred -
That console is a back breaker. My dad and I were able to lift it out but not easily. It's big, bulky, and heavy. I could get it out by myself if i didnt want to save it. Just tip it on its side and flip it over out of the boat. If you are trying to save it, no way you are getting it out alone.
I had to trim the flange just a little to get the tank out. I took maybe an 1/8" off one side and it came right out. The tank is 92 inches long and although not heavy, you need 2 people to handle it.
For the fuel fill hose, i don't see any way except to cut an access hole. I might try to do a 4" pie plate to make it as small as possible, but yea a cut will need to be made there.
