Use a multi tool with a scraper blade. Then on tougher pieces you can use a blade with teeth once you get a feel for it. Then a twisted wire brush on a 4-4.5" grinder is best for dried up brittle glue.
No need for marine plywood A or B-C will do fine. Coat both sides with epoxy Resin (Two coats should do.) and once you drill the holes coat the raw wood with epoxy. If you have a Compact II you should have a big hole in the bottom of the shell. I like that better than a solid shell floor. It lets the moisture out.
