Default Mercruiser Oil Drain Plug Siezed

I'm finally getting my 1987 Wellcraft 190 Classic ready after sitting
in my backyard for the last 7 years. After ripping out the rotted
floor and replacing a few rotted stingers, I'm finally at the point
when I ready to do the "normal" maintainence items.

Everything was going well until I tried to drain the outdrive so I can
replace the gear oil. Well would'nt you know the plug will not come
out! I sprayed the plug everyday for a week with penatrating oil to
loosen it. I used the biggest Craftsman screwdriver I could buy and
even using a wrench on the screwdriver with two people, I can't get
this plug out!

At this point, I'm afraid of deforming head to the point where I'll
never get it out. What's next, drilling a hole into the plug and use
an "easy-out" to extract it?

I'd appreciate hearing if anyone else has had a similar problem and how
they got it out.
Joe
