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.
Proof that my lady friend worked on the boat.
Gosh, I hope it floats.
Another demolition shot. I almost named the boat Humpty Dumpty due to the jigsaw nature of the wood interior.

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.
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.
