Does anybody has information on how the inside of a prindle hull looks like? I need to know if there are bulkheads underneath the posts, etc. -

Why not shove a digital camera in through an access port and take pictures. You can tape it to a PVC electrical tube and use the self timer to get at nasty spots. You may need 50 attempts, but you will then have a good idea of what you are dealing with.
That's what I always do before attempting to use a chisel, saw or angle grinder etc.
