[QUOTE="DVeasey, post: 282260, member: 5720"] So, I got about to working on the boat a bit this morning and accomplished: Removing cleats, rod holders, handles, and various other rusted and stuck bits of hardware. Removed the rest of the rotting plywood from the middle bench and it seems to have covered up a place where one of the PO's cut (hacked away at) for reasons I cannot yet fathom. Flipped the boat over onto some saw horses, to get to work on the bottom. Found out what was hidden beneath some patches of Bondo? (I've never worked with Bondo, yet it looks to be some sort of two part mix of a patching material). - On the port side is a crack where one of the ribs in riveted. (picture below) - On the starboard is a piece of aluminum riveted in nearly the same spot as on the port side. (pic below). A good bit of silicone smeared here and there, inside and out on the hull, presumably to patch leaks. Also a good thick beading of silicone between the hull and the keel. So now for some pictures from this morning, and some questions to follow: [/QUOTE]
