Steve's comments:
.... and this is boat as we first saw her. She was in a cosmetically rough shape but structurally sound. Note the Plexiglas window covers. A previous owner removed all of the original windows and placed these window covers on her. He did a really bad job. We have since replaced them with new plexi and although it is a radical change from the original B 26', she is functional.

Bow suspended from the I-beam in our shop basement. We used a semi trailer tie-down webbing with it's winch to hold her up. I must admit that we held our breath when we released the jacks! It allowed us to remove the trailer for it's overhaul.
