She looks great. You worry about rot. We worry about rust.

Wait wait wait, I know you did some repair with plywood, as seen with previous posts, but the hull is made of wood as well?

Update: we've got the entire aft torn apart. Everything has been removed and we're pulling (slowly) off the deck. Don't slip or fall.

Spent 5 hour painting the lazarette(sp), aft crew quarters , compartment where the fuel tanks used to be. We are painting before we put the aft decks on, which we are really close to doing.
