Yea, I read your original post a few weeks back.I was just wondering if it was a ball breaker.
Chain and forklift seem like the way to go.

I know some manufacturers use pvc tubing for wire runs bow to stern, but they would not run them along the keel area would they?

Lumber that pipe is a water passage for water to flow from bow to stern. I'm pretty sure it was sealed up pretty tight on both ends so water could not come in contact with the tank. We had a problem in our V like that. The water would just sit up front and verry slowly piddle down to the stern when we We drilled two four inch holes in the livewell and using a water hose to loosed up the crud we was able to pull all the cloggings out, It hasn't given us a probelm since.
