H16 has been idle sitting on trailer for a few years (4) I now need to recondition a lot, however I'm looking for suggestions on how to breakdown and remove mud and honycomb from the hull interior. I semi flooded, rocked and drained the hulls to notice dead bee, comb and mud. i want to make sure I don't damage the interior glass and jell.

What do you suggest? BTW, all drainage will be controlled and safely disposed. No open water dumping.......etc

Thanks

Well, you could hit it with a heat gun and melt it out but you would have to be careful not to get the hull too hot. An inspection port on the top of the hull would be a great help at this point.
You might also try a pressure washer if you can find a nozzle that will fit into the hull.
