I pulled mine with the cap off. I used a chainsaw around the edges and no luck. I was lifting the back of the boat off the trailer. So I tear the front bulkhead out and go under the tank with the chainsaw as far as I could. My saw has a 22" bar. Try lifting again and still lifting the entire boat. So I turn the boat uphill put the plug in and start filling it with water while the back is hanging by the fuel tank. Then I said to hell with it and start driving wedges under the tank. I begin to hear something ripping and panic. Before I could let down on my winch the whole boat dropped onto the trailer and my fuel tank was floating in about six or eight inches of water. Turns out the foam itself ripped apart. Now this is with the cap off and a bulkhead ripped off.
