The first tank I removed I used a prybar to chip away the foam and then hoisted the tank out with a car jack and a chain. The tank sticks to the foam on the bottom and breaking that seal is really tough. I can remember trying to crank it out with a board across the gunnel and watching the sides of my liner flex. The second one I filled with water and cut with a battery operated reciprocating saw and yanked it out with a come along strapped to a tree branch. Both times it was a pain. I'm glad to see you got yours out safely.

My bilge stunk like an open sewer after I pulled the factory tank out. Must have been years worth of bilge crud and fish slime down there.
