Boat Review/Upgrades:
We purchased our boat by sealed bid from a bank. It was a total mess with the interior partially disassembled. At some point water soaked the cabin sole and killed the generator. The surveyor deemed it "not seaworthy" and the first stop was the boat yard. Then we replaced all the interior teak along the walls from the ports to the floor. Replaced and repaired a bulk head. New rigging, standing and running, sails to the canvas man. Gelcoat repair. Gallons of interior refinish, rolls of sand paper, and we did it all ourselves. Just ask us anything we know the 43 inside and out, literally. We are almost done. Then its off to the islands for a few years.
