I just cut mine off neatly and had a new bolt rope sewn on....oh, did I tell you I totally munted the track getting the rope out and replaced it too? Looked so nice I replaced the track on the other side and now it all works fine... : )

Now, what I did not tell you was that I backed the boat up to a post and hooked the track to a big nail I drove in.....I then grabbed the stuck side with big grips and pulled my hardest which was when the nail gave way and I flew through the air before crashing into a rough concrete wall and falling over and down a ramp! : )

oh, so then I nailed it down really hard and got a ratchet "cometome" and pumped the crap out of it which succeeded in tearing the track off the boat.

I suppose the bolt rope is still in that track at the dump.. : )

BTW yes I did heat it and freeze it and use soapy water and vinegar and water and other things first.

Next time if a bolt rope wont budge I will just take the sharp blade to it and cut it off and replace the track before I rip all that skin off.
