On Prana it was glassed in with roving added after the tank was in
place - not part of the hull structure - to secure it. The yard cut
the glassing, gave me the tank to get replaced (corrosion holes in the
bottom) and then glassed the new one in. You would want to be sure to
cut the glassing with something that left a clean or no edge.

If you are no longer in need of the tank, I would take tin snips and
cut the tank itself to remove it from the boat. 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.

I had better ask about fuel tank removal.
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.
