Thank god for my son's help or I would have never got the boat home.

From the sea we came,,,but we sure didn't look like this.

Picture of the old CM30 Beehive, before the demolition, and after. What have I got myself into?????????????? Once I started cutting I soon realized that there was lots of water damage below and this was the best way to save the boat. The musty smell was wood that was dry rotting from many leaks over the 30 years the boat had been in sailing the Carolinas.
