I had my boat, (#618) hauled out at Berkeley Marine Center for the last two months and wanted to contribute a few pictures of the trouble I got into while I was there.

I've posted a photo journal shows a little about :

- * How to flip a Tuna upside down
- * How to remove 30 years of bottom paint
- * Replacing Keelbolts
- * Fixing rotting decks
- * Fairing the keel
- * Ripping out the bulkheads
- * Letting a 20yr old graffiti artist do my topsides.

You can see it at : http://www.dilworth.org/boat/haulout.shtml

Many of you helped me unknowingly with advice that you had posted previously in this forum, and in the email lists. Thank you.

I feel obliged to add a little more detail about some of the projects, but until I do, I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone has.

I'm excited to be back in the water, and looking forward to seeing you out on the bay soon.

James
