PHOTOGRAPHS
I should be on the boat soon and will update this page with current photo's. Until then, here are a few
photo's most of which were taken when I purchased her. She's in substantially the same shape but I have
cleaned her up a bit. Since these photo's were taken when I bought her they do not reflect the new
electronics or other improvements.
