Bob,

I'm probably coming in late in the game, but where is the PT located and how long have you been working on it? What a wonderful project it must be. Congrats and can't wait to see more as work progresses.

planking being removed port side aft


Existing stern. Boat previously had 15' removed

The 305 is currently located across the street from the World War 2 museum in New Orleans. It is in an old machine shop. The museum is currently working on a restoration pavillion that we will move to in one year. The pavillion will have a glass wall facing the street so passerbys can see. It will also be air conditioned. The boat has been stripped of basically everythin except the wood. The rotten wood is being removed and some already replaced. We have also started to get ready to add the missing 15'. I just started volunteering a couple of months ago and have fallen in love with this project.
