Surprise

After removing 2 water and 1 fuel tank we exposed the concrete floor underneath and noticed a few cracks with moister seeping up. We consulted with Michel Gaudin and learned that the concrete floor was not original probably a past owner added it to make the boat possible stiffer.

Here we see Dean taking out the first lead ingot......boy did we discover a lot of water as well.
Rented a Large Jack hammer and for 2 days we felt like roadworkers. We emptyd the 3 bilges of concrete,cement and water and took out about 600lb in lead ingots.
