Ship it or drive it???

After closer inspection today, it's going to be a PITA to replace those tanks. I can't wait. ..

Guess you missed my post

Big question "IF"

Yours is a 1968 so most likely has the fiberglass cockpit. If those tanks need to be replaced it is no small task I know this because been there done it to a friends boat 1967 34C

Guess I will have to get out the pictures just hope the deck is dry.
Any holes in the deck and is the ladder base tight and sealed to the deck or are all the screws lose?

So far she looks good does look like she was beat to death like mine was!
Good Luck.

Just thought some of you might get a kick out of this picture. The previous owner had my vessel shipped to Trinidad, rather than drive down. I guess it averaged out the same with fuel and other costs but the opportunity to visit all the islands on the way down frpm from Florida is once in a lifetime.
Don't think of the trip as a delivery. Enjoy the journey.

Hey dan... i specifically looked at the deck as per your description, and indeed is glassed in as a sealed unit. Seems like a better way to stay weather tight. There are metal plates over the fuel gages, and a few soft corners by the bulkhead/sliding doors. ws

The ladder base is tight, no holes in the deck or loose screws. I finally got the flybridge ready to lift off. Slow going when you're standing on your head.

It is suppose to be Today.

Willy soft spot near the door? Wondering how that got soft. Problem is when water gets in there it can run all the way to the stern though the balsa.

Thats cool... we took a spin by the yard on the way to the GLR and it was still nestled in amongst the other boats there. Hope all goes well... ws
