Jim has provided us some pictures. Looks like he might have a bit of work ahead of him.


Motormount needs the spring fixed.
Trailer guides will receive the tailights.

The old name will come off and "Waterbird" will go on.

This is the bottom rudder pintle. I drilled a hole and installed a cotter pin.

This is the top. No room for even a washer.
Room for a washer will be provided by slightly taking down the hight of the lug on the rudder.

Non~flush transom light. Fiberglass is in great shape!

Interior is only sleeping quarters. I'll build living quarters.

Note extra block hanging beside mast. Part of new mast raising system.

Base of mast at tabernacle and cabin vent.

This cool insignia was on the transom when I bought it.
Meaning unknown. Goes with the new name.

Worn out locker cover, to be repaired ASAP.

The trim needs refinishing, but it's all there in excellent condition!

Came with the bow pulpit. Great!

Aluminum emergency tiller.
