	I have to go through but I have extensive photos of 615. She was re-wooded completely but not properly. There are places where the resin seeped right through the planking seams. From what I was told it was an out of work home builder that did the boat . He just didn't know how to butt the planks against one another to make a tight seal. Plus he did not put anything in between the planking layers Jimbo
