    I have some data, however I am not at home at the moment and won't be back there until Wednesday at a minimum. But in general the anchor looks.more like the profile of a propane tank.

      I posted 6 photos yesterday but they show up as Unapproved and I don't know why. They show up only when I log in and I can't edit them. Anybody have a suggestion?

          There's more to it than that, Doctor. I post a grunch of photos in a single post and don't have any such roadblocks in front of me. However, I think there is a time-limit that might kick in if your writing of the post takes too long? Don't know for sure, but that's the only thing that has held a post of mine in limbo till Bob unlocks the cell door.

                    Two medium sized uploads worked. These show how I drilled out the bow underside to insert the brass tubes which were secured in baking soda and CA glue. The photo in my previous post shows where I used Evercoat filler and Bondo glazing putty.

                      One final post for today. Don't want to push my luck.

                        Finally got some red primer on the underside to check my work. Now layout of the topside details begins and I'll have some questions.

                          Those are limber holes for the free flood area around the vls tubes we call the bath tub.

                            Thanks, I assume then they are on both sides. Correct me if I'm wrong.

                              They are indeed on both sides.

                                Too cold to work out in the garage so I've been searching the web and found this shot of the GREENVILLE on dock. These two areas don't show on the drawings I have. What are they?
