What about hacksaw blades? Maybe you could put two or three together end to end to make one long blade?

Didn't somebody also use an electric knife to do this?

I'll try the pressure washer this afternoon when it's 102 degrees out. I'll let you all know the outcome.

I put about a tankful of gas through the pressure washer. It did real well on the remaining foam on the sides and created a nice mess. Yet the tank remains. I think if I get some fittings at Lowes I can shrink the wand small enough to start shooting underneath the front of the tank. Until then...

Got any help?

Hole on corner with roped bolt. Rope running to a 2X4 with 2 guys pulling on the 2x4 on the corner seemed to work.

I used a engine hoist and lifted mine right out, this was after the pressure washer failed etc.
Use a rod insert it in the hole and attach it to a chain hook it up to the hoist , at the time my hull lifted off the trailer before it pop ..Do one side either back or front ..

Default Success!!

tried again with a chain instead of straps. I tensioned it so the side would get the most attention. It popped up in no time. Noe the bad news is the plum size hole in the bottom and the numerous other places showing deap corrosion. Guess It's time to go shopping. Thanks for the assistance all.
