The boat has been coming along slowly but surely. we are still in the process of fixing some small blisters and fairing the keel and rudder. We had one heck of a time trying to drop the rudder down. fortunately with a bit of help(thanks schmitty!) i was able to drop it down. i will be replacing the upper bearing but i am unsure whether i am going to buy one from the factory or create a new one from a pillow bearing. i am getting antsy to get her floating soon!!!! she is getting there but not soon enough!!!!! 🙂
