I decided I'm going to yank the engine and gimbal housing over the winter for a rebuild. My 'new to me' boat has next to no access as far as an engine hatch. Think of a van hood. Only the front half of the engine is easily accessible, the back half of the engine, steering components, etc are all hidden away under fiberglass.
The rear seat is molded into the floor, even if I cut the seat out I don't think the engine could squeeze out. I was thinking of cutting the gunwhales at the front of the engine hatch opening, removing the rub rail and upper (deck?) screws to remove the whole back sundeck/swim platform section.
