Talk about a pain in the neck. The swing keel was rusted in the up position. Also in the process of drilling through the 1/4 inch steel, the drill bound up sending my head into the bottom of the boat. Hurt like hell...
Theres a spot way back there that held water and apparently a dead rat. Found his skull in the tip of my vacuum. (previous owner left MREs onboard) Kinda curious how he got in the boat.

I was coughing for 2 days because of the mold, and not to mention all the bleach fumes. This respirator did the trick though. Couldn't smell the bleach at all.

Gutted the whole inside, the wood was 36 years old and had mold on it. I have no plans to replace it. I do not think that it was structurally relevant to integrity of the boat, so until someone tells me different it stays out. (Also note the water mark)
