Slippery bottom that shallows out aft, made it a challenge to baffle when we changed out from dry stack to wet exhaust. Had to raise coach roof to accommodate partner when at helm. Cut a hole in floor and installed Nomex platform until we did the coach roof. Rebuilt transom, knees, etc so she now 34-ish feet long... Old wood boats....

Beautiful vessel. Lots of labor there.
