The inner liner had a slot with cover that was about 3" wide to allow access to the keel bolts.
We started drilling with a 1" spade wood bit through the inner liner.
The wood underneath was like compost: black, wet, squishy.
Using various spade bits, regular drill bits, chisels, and a dremmel tool with vavious attachements, it took me close to a week working 3to5 hours a night to get all the rotten wood out. The only wood I left was at the ends, where the wood was very solid. Everything around the keel bolts was taken down do the lower fibreglass of the keel sump.
