cutting through hull rail

[Josh9685]

HI,<br />I am replacing the transom on my boat.<br /><br />The boat is a 75 Wriedt jet boat. <br /><br />I need to cut through the top hull rail above the transom to gain better access.<br /><br />how do I do this? How do I pry it apart? I was thinking of using a die grinder with a cutting wheel and going around the seam through the fiberglass???

Re: cutting through hull rail

Do you mean a grab rail, or the rail that surrounds the boat? Also known as a rub rail?

yep, looks just like that one but its red.<br /><br />I need to cut through the rub rail at the back of the boat. I think I do anyways. I don't know a whole heck of a lot about boat repair.<br /><br />Josh

Looks like which one? There are 3 boats.

it's a 75 but it looks most similar to the middle picture, the 72.
