Trash removal

Ah the joys of owning a boat.  And I do seriously love owning a boat even with the required maintenance.  The first step was pulling the plug as the PO had stored it over the summer sans cover.  The amount of water in the boat was amazing.  I foresee a future project of removing the foam and redoing the floor.  The second step was removing everything the PO had done to the boat.  This included removing the unprotected car stereo and speakers (electronics plus water environment equals nothing good), removing the non functioning depth/fish finder, an old tube which had a hole in it, numerous wires which were no longer needed, and the old indoor/outdoor carpeting.  Also removed the canopy as the canvas needs to be replaced but that's fairly far down the list of projects.

 (NOTE: the carpeting is missing in this picture as I hadn't removed it yet.)

Now it's time to start scrubbing the hull and check for any major cracks, dings, scratches and what not.  I had done a fairly decent job at the PO house but as there was lake growth on the hull some spots were hard to tell if there were any issues.
