This boat was in this position when I pulled into the shipyard to pick up my son the other day. Luckily son was hauled out just before this one, because as the weight of this boat shifted from the water to the straps, there was a crunching sound, and the rusty bottom became a seive, leaking oily bilge water, which had to be meticulously cleaned from sea and land. There was no going back so they had to carry on. The boat belongs to an indian who just purchased the vessel, and he said he got a really good deal!!!! I'm sure he did, but now will be the proof of the pudding. Will the boat have enough solid structure under her thin skin to be saved or will she have to go the way of a razor blade.
