Replacement coaming box

On my recently purchased 2006 25' cruiser, the starboard coaming box had been glued in place. It will likely break if I remove it. Are replacement boxes available?
 
Do you mean the coaming pockets or the coaming boxes that you step on? If it's the latter, read further.

I removed, cleaned and replaced the coaming boxes on Journey On. Here is a post on how I did it: Journey On Deck Recaulk.

Either way, just get a heat gun, be careful and get to work.

Pockets. SSI doesn't have my size anymore, but I may be able to get one about 10 inches longer -- same height and depth. My current one is 32" long. If I increase the size to 42", are there supporting structures that I will have to cut, thereby weakening the cockpit?
 
Hi I have had my coaming storage boxes out at least 6 times to run wires or insulate water hoses etc. first time was a bit of a chore but started one corner and with putty knife started a gentle pry. It came easy after a foot or so was free. It was on with silicone which is all it needs. Give it a try we do need in there sometimes. George
 
Thanks, I'll try that, but there are cracks around most of the screw holes, so I think it is not going to be pretty, even if only silicone is holding it. Any thoughts on my lengthening the opening and putting a 42" long pocket in to replace the 32"? Don
