Bag the diesel until much later and after ...

you find out if it's worth the investment. I've seen 2 mid 30' boats with outboards hung on them for power. One was mounted on the transom and the other boat had made a nice bracket that hung the motor on the port rear quarter and also turned into a raised bracket that stored the motor on the deck when not in use.

He said the po said it was documented, and the marina required it to be registered. You do have to pay Florida for a sticker that has the DO number on it, even being a documented ship. Looks like that number has been put on the hull. Not required, but the sticker is required to be displayed on the vessel. I put mine on the base of the mast, and no numbers on the hull. No free lunch!

bad speller,dyslexia,sailor

hello again. Sorry about the spelling errors. I don't use spellchecker, and have always been a bad speller. I some times only spell part of a word in a sentence. Had an intelegent doctor tell me it is a sign of intelegence? After freeing the rudder by scraping of tons of muscles from the joint between the hull and top of rudder, i was able to move the rudder while still in the water-but, and its a big but. I NOW HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL LEAK FROM THE RUDDER POST NUT! The po pointed it out to me. It wasn't there before. He also led me to believe that although you can change the packing, the threads are probable worn off so you can't tighten it? What do I do to stop this leak? I don't have the money to haul it out right now. it seams this is the only leaking spot-right now. Is it posible to change it in the water? help!

move it to sails call?

i have always mostly reviewed and rarely posted to "ask all sailors" never been to "sails call" forum. If i am doing something wrong, please tell me. Prioritiation NO.1 Get the boat dried out. Fix all soarces of water ingress. There is an openning in the hull to deck joint needing 5200. Plug all thru hulls. Fix rudder post somehow--looking for any and all advice on this mater. Wasn't leaking before i scraped off barnicles/muscles. Now what, i am affraid of just putting pipe wrench on nut-might get worse. Eventually i will haul boat and remove all but neccessary thru hulls and glass over the holes. Then replace the esential ones; engine intake, head output, and sink drains output. blast and scrape bottom, sand prime and paint entire exterior. I have copies of documentation, ariginal loan paperwork-owner bought it for 21,400$ in 1987, financed it for 10 years and i have paperwork for satisfaction of lien dated 1998. So he paid off boat. its 1974 model, not 76. I truely appreciate all the info/advice i have gotten on this website. Please tell me if I am doing it wrong. The comments and encouragements are part of the motivation that keep me going. This morning i am spent. My back arms chest hurt. My hands are so cut up from scapeing the bottom that i have to use different fingers to "one finger" the keyboard. Gonna take a break today. My dad is comming over to have me fix his old van, some break. Gonna throw some pork tenderloins and a whole chicken on the smoker soon, i have been investing all my time and thought to getting this boat ready and deliverring it here that everything else has been englected. Hell i have'nt even shaved in the past 4 days-wow, there's alot of grey in there. Better hurry with the boat before i get to old to do it. my primary concern is the rudder post nut leaking-probably the reason for the boat filling with water. as always, thanks, patrick
