Today I pumped water out of the hull again (no boat house in sight) then I started to remove rotted wood from the side decks. The port side is much worse than the starboard side, all of the rot originates at the through deck perforations made for the chain plates. The port side also shows considerable rot in the interior sheer beam. All rotted wood must be removed and replaced with solid stock but it will have to be epoxied in place and the chain plate holes will be re-drilled from the outside.
