Hello, I've been given this ship and would like to refit and refloat her. I don't have any info on the ship but I plan to out fit with new parts mostly 3d printed. Would anyone have any info on the ship or maybe the time lines she represents, (1960s ?). Thanks for any info

I found a small leak around the prop shaft and had to remove all the Ballast to get it repaired. I also sanded and spraied the haul with some new colours and gave the decks a new coat of paint. The real decision was what to do with this boat, I have designed and printed a crane system that I hope will alow me to drop a gopro camera and take picks 20-30 feet under water.
Next up i have to deisign and build a winch.

Here are some pics of the completed project and a link to a video of the underwater camera footage. Due to the waves the boat was bobbing around a lot, i will have to think of a way to absorb the up and down motion to get steadier footage.
