WEEKEND 2: We stripped the bottom and uncovered some of the damage

We began on some easy projects first.  Stripping the hull was fairly easy. I did learn fast that because of the size it took a lot longer then any of my other boats because of the mass.  And I mean A LOT LONGER but worth it!

(below) Again it was essential to examine all the major damage to the hull from both the interior and exterior to plan repairs.  In future pages you will see for yourself just how this damage became the much large hole we nick-named the "V-Hole". I was great for throwing trash out instead of bring it all up and out the top deck.  One of my workers even jumped out of it.
