I have two to remove this weekend...

Unless it was a
steel hulled
boat I'd advise against too much heat, resin doesn't like it.
I'm trying the remover liquid and steady pressure first, if that doesn't
work I'll use the sawzall to notch them and then pound out. I have the time to let the 5200 miracle remover to soak so I'll try it first. I've made custom pullers in the past, usually just a piece of plate
steel, a piece of threaded rod, 2x4 pieces as spacers on the outside of the
hull and then steady pressure. If you don't have the time then cutting the pieces in quarters and pounding is probably the next one to try. I've done that in the past with cutlass bearings, bushings and a through
hull or two. Grinding the end off would be difficult on my
boat, the through hull is recessed slightly from the hull surface so I would have to be extremely careful grinding.
But you never know, when all else fails.....
I ordered the miracle liquid, I'll let you know how it works.
Gotta get back to pounding on the boat.
Cheers.
