My cousin just bought a 30ft 1980s boat constructed of plywood. Once the boat was transported to the property we raised it up on blocks. We inspected the exterior and interior, looks like there's not a huge amount of work to be done to get her back on the water. The previous owner spot-fixed a few areas with fiberglass.

The boat is a 1940 seaplane tender that was originally used by the Royal Air Force during WW2. The hull is built of double diagonal mahogany planks and oak supports. My parents bought this boat over 25 years ago and used it for weekend trips up the lake. But unfortunately, as they became busier with work it was left idle for many years falling into disrepair. So I've started to invest time into repairing the boat and transforming it into a cozy sustainable home.
