I am a little confused are you and the boat on the west or east coast of the US and where specifically. It looks to me that both of you are in Maryland, is that correct.

Sorry about the confusion.  You are right, I am in Maryland and the Boat is about 4 hour drive for me in a Marina in Hampton, Virginia where the previous owner of the boat is that has been helping me.

Just to clarify, Shemaya who you maybe also referring to is on the west coast.  Thanks

 

This is the current pic of the interior prior to the work on the ribs on the right side

It is not really as bad as it looks.  I slept on the sofa cushions on the left several nights on a sleeping bag as we worked on the leak at the ribs.

Here are the pics of the pin hole leak area on the deck which we initially covered with gorilla tape which held up very good for at least a month without any water leaking in.

The other pics are of the ribs where i worked to remove the rot and the water damage and finally epoxy it.  Note it is now tested thru snow ice and rain from last winter and was found to be leak proof.

Looks like I was the one who was confused – I thought that the boat was in California, based on the link in the original post that includes "boats-for-sale/chinese-junk-34-in-ventura-california-". Glad to clear that up! I am on the East Coast also, (in Maine). Great to know that that the boat is nearer by!

Thanks for clearing that up as I was confused too after I went to FB and read the post there.  Anyways Maine is much closer.  I am getting ready to post some more pics below.  Thanks
