Weekend

My brother Mark and I connected a hot battery and tried to start the motors on Saturday. They didn’t start (which we did not expect them to) but they did turn over which we took as a good sign. We were also able to tell that the gauges seemed to work for both engines. That was good news also because the wiring for the motors seems ok.

We cut a hole in the floor to check if there was any water in the hull at the back of the boat and there did not appear to be. Most of the stringers we could see seemed to be in good shape except for the one in the middle. It will definitely need to be replaced but the others (two on each side) seemed to be in pretty good shape. There may be areas that need to be fixed but I don’t think they all will need to be replaced.

Mark is going to put a trailer next to the boat so we can start tearing stuff out and putting it on the trailer to haul off. Hopefully, we can start doing that later this week.

I’ll post some pictures of the destruction when we get started.
