V berth tank removal

[philosophical]

I am thinking about removing the tank under the V berth on my 1972 Pearson 35. There is fiberglass tabbing around the top edge of the tank which appears to be holding it in place. Has anyone removed one of these tanks and if yes, how did you do it?
Thanks

I did it about 10 years ago , because tank burst open. just used sawzall , chisels and such. Easy job. Divided space by installing 3/4 inch plywood wall and installed two 32 gallon Plastimo triangular flexible tanks.
