So, what now. the wood seems as if it is molded into the glass and won't come out quietly or peacefully. Would it just be easier and save time by cutting the entire outer skin and starting over.
I could use some help from the Gods here, if any want to weigh in.

My second piece of wood was a bear to remove. What I did was make vertical and horizontal cuts with a circular saw down to the skin.(try 12*12 size first,and adjust from there) Then I used a wood chisel and pry bar and it came out a lot easier. It seems that a big piece has more leverage, so its harder to budge.
Unless the guys that have gone here before say different: I would not cut the outer skin off.

The circular saw and wood chisel will work well. I also suggest getting a good grinder with 24 or 36 grit discs. I would definitely try to leave the outer skin intact.

thanks. I used the saw on the first few layers, but sure get nervous when it gets this thin. I guess a few slips is easier than the whole thing. a claw hammer was working well on the first few layers also until I swung in though my pinky. I took the rest of the night off.
headed to the store now for the grinder pads/disc. thanks for the input.

the 'copy-catting" continues, thanks again to all for the great information and pictures to follow.
couple of questions. 1. can I use 1/2 inch plywood for the deck some have used it and other not. Is it a matter of opinion. 2. I am obviously raising the deck and am going to attach to existing gunnels. If they are supported and glassed in do I need to worry about flex? could I back fill with foam? Here is where I am at now. Weather has been wet so I couldn't start on transom. Hopefully tomorrow ![]() ![]()
