Working to restore 1971 Donzi Outboard with my brother. We have removed the rub rail, removed the bow lifting eye, cut woven roving fiberglass ties around ski locker, and cut woven roving tabs near the transom that were accessible through the side hatches. Deck appears to be ready to lift in the front of the boat, but will not budge at transom. In fact, come along lifted whole boat off the trailer rather than the deck.

Is there more to this project? Do you have to make some fiberglass cuts at the transom? And advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
