Engine room looking forward. Note the temp opening in the forward watertite bulkhead. This goes thru the old officers head forward. The rear watertite bulkhead was also opened up. Makes easier access fore and aft. I beleive this was done with the previous owners.

Heres the deck. It was covered with metal and fiberglass, very difficult to remove. We are storing some of the new stringers here in preparation for the new 15'
