[quote=Dogboy]I was going to say pretty much the same thing as carolinacatamarans about the corner casting. If the dead blow hammer won't do the trick, I would CAREFULLY cut off the corner casting using an angle grinder or possibly a dremel. I wouldn't use heat. Too much heat will anneal the pylon (remove the temper of the aluminum) making it much weaker. Plus you risk damaging the fiberglass with too much heat.
Regarding painting, I would try to remove all the paint and then restore the old gelcoat rather than trying to re-paint.
