I'm having fun tearing out foam. The shovel seems to work best for the most part. Once the foam is out I'll be replacing the stringers and bulkheads. Since the boat is still on the trailer I plan to take it slow and methodically to avoid mis-shaping the hull. The trailer has four bunks that are lined up with the strakes and seem to fully support the hull but I'm not taking any chances. The plan thus far is to only remove a portion of one stringer at a time, epoxy the new stringer in and move to the next. I'll start with the rear 8' of each side.
