Yup, links fine.

What's the repair spot on the starboard front next to the keel? Is
that collision repair?

No, that's where they began stripping the hull before they discovered
the cosmetic blisters. The photo of the large square "peeling" is the
test area that was done to confirm that the laminate was dry and the
blisters were merely cosmetic.

That's the style of boat I wish my brother-in-law had bought instead of
the houseboat, open style small 'lobster boat' and the SeaDoo Sportster.
Sure would be fun cruising to Cape Breton on that.

Nice progress. Can't wait to see her when she is done.

It looks like you are at that state where you wonder how they will
ever get it back together again... :-)

I'm sure it will be drop dead gorgeous when they're finished.

I fell in love with this boat when she was 10 years old. (Can't you be
sent to prison for that, or something?). I've never seen her looking
"new", but if she looks as good or better than she did in the early
90's she will be a head turner once again. :-)

IIRC, you had a faux funnel for your propane tank. Is that the circular
area in one of those pics? Was that the cause of some of that water
intrusion? By the way, I did like that funnel.

The false stack has been removed from the cabin top just temporarily.

Some of the cabin leaks were coming down from the false stack area. The
rust in the circular area on the cabin top is the result of the propane
tank frame becoming corroded.
Now that the false stack has been removed and it's possible to do a
thorough inspection it appears that there was an improper seal where
the propane plumbing penetrated the cabin top, and the water was
dripping onto the headliner below. As the false stack is on centerline,
the water would follow the crown of the headliner to the point where it
intersected the cabin walls and then migrate onto the veneers.
Fortunately, most of the superstructure on this boat is FRP, (although
the bulkheads are marine ply), so the water damage is primarily
cosmetic.

The false stack goes back on when the seal is remedied. I'll also need
a new propane tank frame, even though the tanks are only about 3 years
old.

Thanks for the update. Great project to follow from the other side of the
sate where it seems to be winter still.
