Keel, held in place with an assortment of angle irons, several kinds of screws, nails and glue. Stuffing box was anchored with two SS bolts that did not seem to be attached to anything. Bottom in this pic has been replace with 1" rough sawn pine complete with several large knots.

bottom removed, last frame aft is badly damaged and has since been removed.

New and old sections of bottom planks.  All have been removed. Lower edge of plank left with a ragged assortment of nail holes.  Nails were wrought iron.  Interesting to discover the laps were all nailed with wrought iron clinch nails.

Old coaming has been removed, too badly damaged to save, no real rot anywhere in boat except along the bottom edge of garboard near stern.

last frame before transom, part has been remove, showed the "dory clamp" which could not be removed without doing more damage so my trusty pull saw took it out.

lapstrakes are remarkably free from paint buildup. photo shows transom knee and remains of steering cable as well as new (now removed) pine bottom. The yellow stuff is foam in a can that previous owner used to fill any gaps in his work.
