Repairing an Alvin Beal 70" Lobster Boat. 1974

[BG-boats06]

We are working on a alvin beal lobster boat built in 1974. The boat had sustained fresh water damage to the garboard plank and the one above from bow to mid ship. Also some deck damage due to excesive sun expose from where it was sitting for 32 years! The inside of the boat looks to be tight. Just needs a a little washing. Excellent chraftmanship if i may say so! In my opinion the master. :D Getting it ready for John Sawyer, he will be motorizing it to race july 1st in the 60 and over class.( what a monster! )
