I've pulled the chainplate and all the bolts as well as the smaller screws on my E25, but the bulkhead stubbornly refuses to budge. I've run a thin sawblade between the surfaces and can detect no further bolts or screws. There is no sign of it having been glassed in, but there is some sign of a rubber-like extrusion along the top.
Before I break out the 4-pound hammers and reciprocating saw, I thought I had better check with this forum in case there is an obvious obstruction I'm unaware of.
Thanks!
P.S. There is soft wood all along the hull edges of both bulkheads -- the starboard side being especially bad. I've started on the portside however, because it seemed simpler (no centerboard column).
