Missouri, edging towards the water

I finally was able to get the prop-shafts and new motors working properly, so it was time to move on to the patching of the hull.

I started by replacing a whole window panel which had been swiss-cheesed in the previous season

Mo whole panel and several small patches

I then performed several patches according to the directions Brian listed here: http://mabg.org/node/127

Mo before patching Mo remove temporary patch Mo making clean hole

Mo new patch ready to go inMo with new patch

 

So, with working propulsion, and a patched hull, Missouri may actually be able to sail in the next week. Getting the cannons working, on the other hand, will take a while (parts pending).
