Cutting through fiberglas, plywood, screws, etc. poses the question of what tool will survive the ordeal. I have found that a "Zip" disk in my angle drill works well for materials up to 2" thick. In the picture below I am cutting through plywood about 2" below the deck so I don't have to deal with replacing the teak. I ended up cutting through 3 stainless steel screws. A skill saw would be toast.
It's hard to see in the photo below, but I removed the majority of the gusset supporting the deck.
I left the tape on the aft side which will ensure the new piece will line up perfectly.
This is the shape of the new gusset. I'm painted all new wood with A1 penetrating epoxy.
Gusset installed
Here's the mock-up for the lazerette stringers.
