For everyone who has asked for the update, sorry it took so long. Primer coats are about done. We used a special marine epoxy primer from BLP and are now about ready to paint. Progress is steady but sure. Shafts are now in and we might see the water, at last, in July. Pictures below in order are: 1. New keel freshly primered with worm shoe, 2. New flooring going in the main salon, 3. My brother on a really hot afternoon, 4. Picture of one of the new shafts, Enjoy. Comments always welcome.
