Even snips can spark. Put dry ice in the tank to displace the gasoline vapors. Be careful of where you are displacing the gasoline vapors to. Actually, just be careful. Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone with Nextel Direct Connect

Probably;y don't want to go at it with a saw as its going to create sparks. Given creative use of snips, hammers and hand saws - I think you could make quick work of it and not hurt the boat.

It appears (without the engine removed) that it has to be cut out of it's location. If previous posts are available I'd like to read them. I want to retro-fit the drive to electric. Batteries could use that space. 1978 C27 Marcus
