Decks all removed ready to glue and re-fasten loose framing and transom
The transom was not attached along the deck
on both sides
All the joints along the ski pole deck were loose most of the screws had snapped and the front seat back was just hanging there
The forward-deck has all been removed ready for
new steering wheel and mounting blocks. The old gage holes in deck beam showing
Cutting out new ply deck

She was powered by a big white fridge which has finally died after two sinkings.
Guisippe is now going to have a Yamaha 65hp installed about 100kgs lighter than the fridge it should make a huge improvement to her performance
