Im feeling a little worried. I need to find where and how the water is getting in. It has to run down and funnel out of the threw hole thats facing aft on the lower cross section of bulkhead. Where the wires from the bilge run heading up front. The water comes into the forward center compartment. (picture)
I then noticed there a major crack in the bottom bulk head. (picture) Im lost on this. What to do, on top of all the other major issues going on. Then noticed a nice crack in the bottom , goes threw some layers. Kind of un nerving. (picture) Im tackling all of this by myself.
Its not my boat. My younger brother is sick. Hes not well enough to sail her let alone tackle these major repairs. Im helping out my mother and brother. Plan is to get her back in shape , in the water by July and for him to be well enough to enjoy his boat. So its tuff.
Rotted wood is out. That big piece of wood is dry thats under the cross beam. It just looks wet. I cant move the shitter tank because he left it full when he had to leave the boat off. Boat yard said I have to have it in the water to pump it. wtf ?
Its all good. All i can do is try. Hopefully I get it done.
****its not letting me post pics im trying to attach ? I will try again tomorrow. Thanks again for everyones input.

Hi, I have the same issue with a lot of water coming in and probably have rot, have been reading these forums but its difficult to follow as pictures are worth a thousand words. I would like to fix the mast step as it sunk a little. To be totally honest, I'm not getting "the sliding in the aluminum post", and I dont see the pdf file mentioned . Can you folks help? I see you have a wealth of knowledge.

Go back to post #4 and download Claude's PDF. It has all the information that you'll need.

That looks like it will require an expert and money OR a whole lot of your time and effort if you are a handy guy inclined to learn how to repair a hull. We have a guy on this site that did a MONUMENTAL repair on his Hunter after it was severely damaged by a hurricane. If anyone can give you pointers he can. I will find his name.

Found him. B757Captain. He documented his repairs on this site. It will blow your mind.
