I certainly do have many photos. I will need to dig into my old pc but i can pull some up maybe even scan in a few. I worked with the Crow Brothers over in Tighlman Island MD getting the ownership transferred to DoANM in Texas. We had a dumpster delivered and started cleaning her out and off. Removing everything from pig iron for ballast to seized up water logged 671 GM diesels, dredging equipment debris anything to clean her up. From there I aboard the 305 the Crow brothers towed her over to Long Cove Marine where she was to behauled painted (patched) and made ready for the 671 GM's that were removed from the 309 boat. Once they were installed and set up (the steering box had to be reworked) there were a few test runs done but tranny troubles and she was in really tough shape some monies came along to place her on a flat bed and have her hauled to Galveston TX. But before THAT took place she went over to Great Oak John Patnoviks place where I with no fan fair got her pilot house ready to be removed and stripped clean down to her deck so she could be shrink wrapped for the trip to Texas. That was the last I saw of her.
I will gladly dig up some photos. Just be a pit patient. I have had both knees replaced and a bit slowed since my brain tumor. Should take me about a week though so do not get discouraged.
God Bless
Jim

Hi Jim,
Dick has recently posted a tutorial on how to post photos. It is a 2 step process, first you save the photos to our Photobucket account, then after they are on Photobucket, you copy the image file and paste that code onto this message body. You have to remember to go back and change the [IMG] to say image inside the brackets
and the [\IMG] to say [\image]
I hope this comes out!
Good luck I cant wait to see your posts!
