Most of you have probably read my rantings by now regarding saving a boat from a swamp...

The guy I bought my half from came across some pictures the other day...Just to give you an idea of what it looked like, this is the cabin after about 30 man hours of cleaning......we have removed the shovels prior to taking the photo...

I am still looking for the pic of the 4 foot tree in the cockpit.

Duane,
I remember you had to replace the lower portion of your mast post do to rotting. Do you know if the stringers are completely sealed with glass to protect them when water settles in the bilge?
What kind of tree was growing in the cockpit? Did you transplant it to, say, the marina grounds?

You said you "bought" your half from someone as in paying actual cash money? From the looks of the boat you could've probably claimed salvage rights on it.
