Has anyone ever removed a 787 from an X4 Hull without removing the exhaust? My pipe has started leaking horribly from the plugs and I want to remove it and reweld them. The issue I know I will run into is this was a saltwater ski and with the way the rest of it has been, I would be willing to bet that at least one of the bolts will be seized. One is definitely either seized or a previous owner used the wrong size Allen on it because it is completely stripped out. Because of that, I'm considering just removing the engine to make it easier to access the exhaust and it will also give me an opportunity to completely clean out the hull. It looks like I might be able to squeeze and wiggle the engine out, but I figured I would check and see if anyone else has attempted this before I go through the trouble.
