The last time this boat saw water was 2004 when I bent it badly, i found the original hull,  it wasnt good, I had a built hull that I'd been given, it was just a shell, and needed work, the tech rack had failed in my old boat , I fitted a piston tank which weakened the rack. So I stripped both hulls cleaned the brass deck, pete
