Hi, Roger,

A quick
calculation reveals that a sling attached to each skylight frame could
be use to lift the boat quite comfortably as long as the wood frames
held.

Since it doesn't look like the hinge pins can be easily driven out,
I'll be out there in the spring trying to make a neat job of this in
place. There are also clearly some minor leaks in the bedding as
evidenced by silicone smeared in places and there is now no way to
renew the frame bedding properly.

There are softening agents available, and heat does wonders, too, in
enhancing the removability. Is it possible to make a single drill
point through which some strong monofilament could be threaded?

Once started, and the stuff previously softened and then heated, you
can use the mono as a rope saw and deal with the cleanup later.

The same trick will get a doublestick taped whatever off the wall
without worrying about tearing off whatever it's stuck to....

Skip, dealing with the fuel leak discovered after putting 20+ gallons
in the tank this week, some of which ended up in the bilge...
