Wanted to share some pics of the area around bilge thru hulls and how transom wood stops about six inches short of corner. The eyelets and area around bilge pump thru hull fittings are solid glass. I'm very impressed at the build quality and this one is like a time capsule, original bilge paint I believe. I'm not doing anything to the bilge really except replacing bilge pumps and plastic thru hulls, fire extenguisher, etc just basic maintenance really. The bilge paint is still in pretty good shape hard to believe someone put 800+ hours on it, think, maybe they were running clock listening to radio in the shop or something.

As much as I enjoy working on the boat past few months, I decided to hand the project over to the great guy's at Langston Marine out of Lake Texoma area. Was very fortunate that Daniel offered to help with the project and am confident the boat will be in good hands with him and his partner Chad. Daniel was born with racing fuel in his blood as a second generation marine mechanic, engine builder, and offshore boat racer. It is a special boat and wanted it to have the best, plus the fact that it takes me 4-5 times as long to do a poor job became clear would cost much less, take much less time, and have a much better result to have someone else do the work.
