I have been wanting to do this, too Phillip -- but I haven't ever figured out what king of a cutting tool would be good for slicing through the fiberglass in the narrow space between the keel bolts and bilge wall. My boatyard was reluctant to even get involved in this project. I'm hoping for a brainstorm that will allow me to minimize the curses per minute when I finally tackle it.
I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on how to do the cutting, and, like you, would be glad to hear from anyone who has actually done it.
