    cutting boat floor

    So my filler hose rubbed on the floor and got a hole. Hull getting gas in it. What tool works best for cutting floor on fiberglass boat. Jig saw has hell.
    Thanks

        If you have a compressor an air saw is best.

          And long sleeves, buttoned up to neck and a neck wrap.

              Be very careful of sparks. Fuel vapors under the floor of a boat makes a bomb.

                USE Masking or Blue tape on the outline you will be cutting. It will help, to an extent, with flying glass. But like others have said: safety goggles, long sleeve, skin protection, gloves

                  Don’t wear gloves with circular saw!

                    That is what I would be concerned about. Fill with water

                      I would use a Rockwell vibrating saw with a half moon blade

                          That sounds like a job I don’t want any part of. I hate working with fiberglass, hate cutting it even more. Then with that added excitement of gasoline fumes.

                            Multi tool with the half round blade
