Favorite tool for removing core,and why
For those that have,or are doing core work.Whats your favorite tool and why? What works the best on reasonably good core.The rotten would be fairly easy by most methods, but the good stuff,not so much.

I like to use a sawzall to get under the loose skin. Unless the core is really good you can usually get up to the edge with the saw then peel the skin off. A circular saw with the depth set carefully is next to dice the core into sections or strips. Follow up with an “oscillating tool” to pop up the sections. Make the sections as small as you needto to make them easy to get up. Pry bars, chisels, scrapers and hammers are also helpful!

+1 on the Lancelot. It made short work of transom removal as well. But the minute that you aren’t scared of it, put it down. You are about to get hurt.
I also used this:

It never showed any signs of wearing out either.

best tool ever for this imo...
The picture of the blade is not the exact one I used, but it is a decent picture of what came with my kit from Dewalt, and I bought more of these as you will go through a few. It lays almost flat against the hull and cuts flat through the tough good core areas.
And then to grind away larger areas of uneven glass, core or what ever...This grinding wheel below (what NicePair suggested) is worth it's weight in gold...imo....
I had Zero breaches in my hull and I removed Everything in the hull except the hull shell itself.
Here is a link to what came in my Dewalt kit, there are a couple other offset cutting bits to get completely flat if needed. I used those to separate my deck from the hull in the transom well area. If memory serves...I think it was about $130

Fein is the original designer of these tools and I’ve had one for about 25-30 years. Cost a fortune back then and could only be found in higher end specialty tool stores. Originally bought for doing flooring to cut door jams, etc. Great tool with many uses. My original still performs like new.
Thinking their patent ran out cause now everybody makes them for a lot less money, even Harbor Freight has a cheap knock off of them.
It seems they all have the same blade mounting so all the blades work on all of them. Made getting blades and attachment accessories a lot easier.

You can re sharpen those blades your self with a small triangular file. They cut better than new.
