I am heading out to the driveway with sawzall in hand, got two 14 boats I need to get rid of!, going to be fun making little pieces out of them, unfortunately one of them is a classic with more damage than I want to repair, it is a 1957 Sport Lido!

Make sure you do the "Tarzan" yell loud enough for the neighbors to hear ...

Boy these sure don't make them like they used to, that darn Sport Lido has enough wood in the bow to build a house!

Can't be harder than getting a plow truck unstuck, is it? :D;)

Sawzall and a long demo blade works great for the thin walls. Once you hit the foam and thick layers it's time for a chain saw.

This is where I stopped on my last one.

Just cutting the sides off saved me half at the local transfer station. Not cutting the whole thing apart saved my wrists, elbows and shoulders a whole lot more.:D

I could have taken care of the cutting in a flash...... a bright orange LOUD flash. I would have done DET cord experiments :D ......I might have even left pieces big enough to pick up (when they landed LOL) to go to the landfill.

Remember...... Any problem on earth can be solved with the proper application of high explosives....... oh yeah and the formula ....remember P is for plenty :)
