The chain plates now have to be exposed and the rest of the old interior is coming out to make a new purpose made interior to go in its place

The chain plates are now just have to have their selves removed so that they can get removed and new chain plates can be made and new chain plates can glassed in place

All this old interior is coming out to make room for a new interior to go in that is going to be purpose made to fit the inside and make it fit for purpose as expedition boat 

The old engine being removed to make room for a larger engine to go in its place to give the boat power for punching through the big seas it may encounter on its new voyages
