I have just acquired a 1960ish Trailcraft 16ft Explorer skin on frame canoe. It was beautifully built from a kit purchased in the back of Boy's Life magazine. It needs new canvas which I can do. However, the outwales and keel are held on with STEEL screws. I need to remove 30-40 of these in order to reuse the wood and I have not been able to budge a single screw. Aside from burning the boat and saving the screws, does anyone have any ideas.I really want to reuse the wood. Thanks Jack 4905
