Once I saw the rot and the other wood that wasn't so bad I thought the same thing. Throw some Benjamin Moore paint on it and put it back together LOL.

What are your thoughts on hand pump. Just in case both deep cycle batteries go dead and I'm not plugged into the shore power

Finally got the rest of the parts out of the bilge and was able to warm up the sawsall. Found out how much water was sitting in the rotted wood. Also how hatched up they patched in the old trs cutouts for the speed masters.

Raise them. Now is the time to do it... A little more work now, but the rewards will be well worth it!
