Forgot to mention the lack of finish work with this method is a lot less time consuming.

Default Re coring

Well if you are not going to repaint
Then this is what I would do.
1 . measure the height of the cap to deck, then make some chocks or stands to hold up and realign...

2. Take a 4" cutting wheel with a very thin dimond blade. Or cutoff wheel and cut the vertical supports out. Just enough. Say 4-5" from top .

3 ..then take a 4" cutoff wheel and cut the core out from underneath. Careful.not to cut through top.. Just score it and remove bottom skin..

4. once all scored all around take a chisel and hammer and remove core..you may get lucky and get most of it out on a few good hits...if you have the bottom skin off and there is balsa still there.. Change out the 4" cutoff and put a 4" twisted wire cup on and grind all the remaining core off..those wire cups wreak havoc on balsa...

5.once clean grind with 36grit /and clean up dust wipe it down..

Now make a pattern on a table, not sure if you have a layup table. But make a pattern out of cardboard

Once you have to cap supported you can go ahead and cut the verticle parts out and then go ahead and cut coring out from underneath the deck

Make a template of ho much coring you want. Lay it out on visquene or layup table and bevel your edges of corelay an over sized piece of glass say 3" all around. Then add your core bevel side up.. Then glass over this and encapsulate it.. And there you go... Once cured pull it off your visquene ..and rough up the visquene side and trim and fit into place.. Make some flimsy but strong wedges to fit and hold the part ul to the deck cap.. Now that you have it all ready . get some bonding epoxy like six10 and put a nice even layer.and glue it in place. Take your wedges or deadmen and use them to hold in place till cured.. And then just go ahead and reinstall your verticle pieces..this should take about a good weekend.. Good luck sir

If you were in Panama city Florida. I would definitely help you with your project. But since your not this is the best I can come up with.. Less evasive and tme consuming.. If you want to do it in three parts and not cut your verticle parts out well you can.. And then you don't have to fair or repaint at all...gl

Martin. Thank you. That is where I was going to cut but also across the cap itself 2 feet back from the bow on each side. This would allow me to remove that section from the boat. Right? Can you draw those lines and let me know what you think? Thanks. I'll
Have to re read your posts when I'm not dog tired. I just got back from tuna fishing on a buddies boat.

Sorry my phone is not accurate on getting them lines right on you pic so I could not do it. Per haps you could draw a sketch and post a picture of it with what you are wanting to do...but either way outrageous is right , it will be a PITA
