Liner Removal

[JohnC]

I am looking at a 1969 20' CC. It will need transom work and likely deck work. Has anyone ever popped out the liner in one piece? Is it possible/hard? I was thinking of cutting around the transom and I have a forklift with long forks to lift it up and out if I can get a few straps around it. I would flip it and re-core and then put it back in if I could do it this way.
Also, I don't know if an unmolested 69 is self bailing or if the deck needs to be raised. This too seems like a smaller job with the liner out in one piece but I haven't thought that one through yet.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,
