We were called in to refurbish this beautiful classic carvel hull trawler style cruiser. The first thing we did was to survey the boat from stem to stern. This uncovered a lot of dry-rot in the superstructure where the cabin sides met the deck. Over the years this had caused some major structural problems in […]
