This ancient boat SANK in the spring of 2002.

After being raised, the boat sat on land for 13 months while litigation ensued.
Following that the bottom was totally epoxyed and covered with 3 layers of fiberglass.

New electric holding tank head with y valve and pump out.



The entire interior is Teak with some boards 20" wide. When entering the interior of
,

you will feel you have stepped back in time .
The process is slow, but is actually far ahead of what the photos seem to show.
Basically, it's a matter of doing things right the first time and this process takes a great deal of thought and planning.
Plus all new appliances and running gear must fit through a 23" opening as no cutting or mechanical
intrusion is going to happen that will alter or deface the original structure.
Any and all email comments and or suggestions are welcome
I have recently purchased a new "Gardner" marine diesel engine and will be installing it soon!
