An object lesson on the value of a marine surveyor, who found this before I bought it. That's the mast step timber (or lack thereof) and expose keel bolts. You can see the rot in the left side of the photo and the exposed hull where the glass was ground away. Did I mention the value of a surveyor? Steve Berg was his name.
The main floor timber before it was completely removed. The P.O. and I spent a couple weekends tearing away at the interior to know how big a problem I was considering buying. When it's love, you don't have a lot of choice.
The inner hull after some of the rot got stripped away. This area was soaked with rot fix, inlaid with new cedar, and glassed over.
The offending setup before removal. Really it should have worked fine since the holes were epoxied, but no such luck after a couple decades.

Keeping it classy. I find that sailing hats are very necessary.
The cedar strips on the interior, epoxied-over. This kind of stuff gets my dad (a wood/epoxy boat builder) all excited.
Her new name after laying her up to replace some rotten floor timbers. Step 1: don't bore holes through wooden timbers to run your water lines. Step 2: otherwise it costs 8K to cut them out and replace/re-glass them. Step 3: varnishing the transom is a pain in the butt.
