For now this section is a
collection of photos of the boat as she was at the time we picked her
up in 2003. The updated conditions are highlighted as the repairs
occured.
One of the two original Sterling Viking II Engines setting in the weeds.
We plan to bring this to Seattle as part of the project. [OOps, too

went to the engine museum also went to the scrap yard. They could never
get it to a point of turning over.)

drawings that we used to create our fake 20mm mounted on the fantail.
