I Have A Dry Boat

It kinda feels like a right of passage of some sort, but I have a dry boat.  The small bilge pump got most of the water out, but it got to the point that the individual bays wouldn't drain anymore.

I got the George out of the house much to my wifes displeasure and set about sucking up the water and the decaying leaves.

In this it looks like a NB :-(  LOL.

Another construction milestone is the removal of all the internal bracing.  Its amazing how much bigger it looks with these removed.
