Thanks to Mike and Pat and others who responded with advice after my last
post asking for advice on bottom painting and how to replace my keelbolts.
My boat (#618) ended up being out of the water for two months. I wanted to
share a few pictures of the trouble I got into while I was hauled out at
BMC. I've posted a photo journal that shows a little about :
* How to flip a Tuna upside down
* How to remove 30 years of bottom paint
* Replacing Keelbolts
* Fixing rotting decks
* Fairing the keel
* Ripping out the bulkheads
* Letting a 20yr old graffiti artist do my topsides.
You can see it at : http://www.dilworth.org/boat/haulout.shtml
Many of you helped me unknowingly with advice that you had posted previously
in this forum, and in the email lists. Thank you.
I feel obliged to add a little more detail about some of the projects, but
until I do, I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone has.
I'm excited to be back in the water, and hoping to see some of you out on
the bay soon.
James
