Vessel is currently out of the water, needs new zincs, hull under keel cooler needs inspection/repair.  Portside cover board need replaced. Bulwarks and guard need to be replaced.  Fuel tanks need to be cleaned/repaired.

I have most of the “stuff” to finish this project, 6 20+feet 8”x 8” beams to be cut for hull/deck/bulwark material.  Hyd. Tank and rams for steering conversion. Most fasteners and bolts for bulwarks.

 

Major repair/renew work was done in 2003, the bow, foredeck, and anchor hosepipe were renewed, all bad wood was removed/replaced.  When after the normal leaking and re-swelling, a slow seep was identified as coming form the area that is under the keel cooler, caulking needs to be reefed out and redone.
