Hi Paul,

Thats one place I didn't look under the seat. The owner and his father have been in the seacoast area for quite a while so you may be right about the bank. I've checked the bilges and everything looks solid. I wish it hadn't been painted it would have been so much prettier. Still should be nice when restored. Now all I need is a few friends to get her in the shop and find something to set her on so I can get started.
