I am into the dis assembly phase and I have found some very interesting things. Someone has installed carpet behind the bridge panels and is all rotten so i had to remove all the panels to remove the carpet. This will all get painted with awlgrip. I found that someone replaced the waste tank and installed it under a piece of plywood [not marine] and the install blocked the weep holes and the engine area could not drain. This caused the water to sit in the engine room and rot the stingers. yea i am going to replace the stringers as well. I have decided to redo all the systems in the engine room so I will not have any issues there. I will also remove the fuel tanks and check and see what awaits me.

I have to resize some pics but I am cleaning the engine room and getting rid of a lot of not so good repairs.I removed the side panels from the bride area and cleaned out all the carpet behind there. I am going to use the space for life jackets and throw life rings.

We are in the middle of a two week rain and super high tides. so working on her is limited. I am also keeping a close eye on this hurricane that may come this way

I know i have not been on lately but the work has not stopped. I have clean the hull and found the gelcoat very thin so as soon as the weather breaks I will prep her for paint. the stringer,s are coming along nicely and I will be done with those late spring.I have removed the fuel tanks to clean and inspect. I will also paint the tanks to prevent any corrosion .
