Update- I was able to remove the transom fiberglass in one piece by wedging long shims between the two sheets of plywood then taking a oscillating saw and cutting the outer sheet of plywood. The area I thought was poured in foam turned out to be shoddy thickened epoxy work. Is this typical? The fiberglass thins and is replaced with epoxy as it goes to the outer edges of the hull (see photos). There are many large voids in the epoxy filler I'm assuming I need to remove as much of this epoxy as possible and replace it with fiberglass? I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove the transom u-bolts? it's too tight to get a socket or wrench inside to remove the nut. Any recommendations? I may just cut them out and relocate new ones lower on the transom?
