"Potter puttied his decks and top caps to his transoms in much the same way... trying to free the two joined parts has annoyed many a seacraft restorer.."
Some of that is my concern. On mine when I tried to remove the in floor live well it was potter puttied to the hull. One good pull with a pry bar and the whole thing just popped right off. A couple other places there was putty a chisel under an exposed edge and the whole pool of putty just came off intact. Now granted it was poly based putty and I am using epoxy but...
Anyway I'm going to do a little more head scratching and see if I can come up with a plan. I don't want to reinvent the wheel but I am willing try something different if it has merit.
