In addition to all the screws the cap was glued/caulked to prevent water intrusion at the joint, then the floor of the liner was bonded to the stringers and transom with bonding putty. If you stick your head down in the storage compartment on the front deck you can see the bulkhead and how the putty was done. To remove the liner I used a couple forklifts. Made a few wedges to tap in between the liner and the top of the stringers. Access was limited so I went through the front hatch opening and the fuel tank hatch opening. Cut some short 2x4 to fit through the openings and tied the rope to the 2x4 so it was pulling up on the bottom side of the liner.
