I really wish I had gotten this boat before the blizzard. I was pulling ice out of the bilge- it was perhaps 3-4" up from the keel. The ice means standing water, which isn't good. Not much I can do about it now, I got out what I could- it will warm above freezing this week and hopefully drain.

There was no foam under the bunks on the port side. But there might have been- there looks like spray foam residue in there?

Also there is a blocked off thru-hull under the port bunk. It is pretty small. I think it needs attention. It is in the pictures where you can see the ice before I plucked most of it out. And you can see the patch for a larger thru-hull, probably from the head. It existed ~10 years ago, but isn't there now, so maybe it was glassed in during the '04 repower, and foam pulled out at that time.

The forward triangular compartment is full of liquid water. The compartment just aft of and below the anchor locker I wasn't sure what I was looking at, when I was in there, but it sure wasn't draining.

I know it has new(er) fuel tanks in it. I haven't pulled the hatch there.

It looks like I will plan on some new bulkheads. If not now, then next winter. Maybe I will grind away one skin and replace with coosa/nidacore or just laminate a doubler to one or both sides of each bulkhead. And then try to figure out how to add the other bulkheads.
