Starting to strip the transom.
Transom stripped removing the planks.
At some point the bottom was removed and reskinned leaving the old keel. Also you can see where the rudder hole has been plugged. The boat had a major water leak around the rudder port. This is why when we install a new bottom all the framing, keel and chines are replaced.
Transom planks removed exposing framing work that need attention.
Bottom frame and center post separated.
Part of the rear bottom frame removed so we can repair thew inside of the bad keel.
Routed out the bad wood so we glue new wood in place.
At some point two rudder holes were drilled with the one toward starboard plugged.
Drilled out the old rudder port holes.
Another view of the old rudder port holes being drilled.
