Rotten all the way through. It is 2X2 construction. Just the bottom board is rotten part way down the cabin length.

Repair and of course plenty of beer! One needs to stay hydrated.

Well I finally retired! August 29th 2012. 24 years to the very day that I checked in I checked out. It is great to have all my time to work on the boat.

I found some issues that needed addressing before we leave for our adventure. The cabin had been leaking and what I thought would be a easy two day fix turned out to be a little bigger project. The cabin sole on the port side was rotted all the way threw. The starboard side was rotted half way through. Replacement is in progress.

I removed the port window to replace and reseal it and when I ordered it it took 2 weeks for it to come back. When it finally did arrive it looked like a 5 year old cut it out. I'm going to use the old glass.

I found that I have trouble with my motor mounts, so I have to remove the engine and instal the correct mounts. I'm glad I have the time to work on The Rock! It'll be right before we leave next spring.

The front of the cabin was dry but both the starboard and port sides where leaking.
