HI Jim well i wish i had your confidence on this regards leaks but i will soon find out as she will be in the test tank soon for 3 hrs an she will first undergo the water pressure tests as she will be loaded up with about 50 pounds of batts to push her over her water line then we will see if the water comes pourin in her but if it does then i will mark on her with a water proof pen to mark where the leak is then a little resin as if theres a hole the resin will find it an seal it
chris cheers for lookin in

Bob mate if you look at no'3 pic it shows the big bolts that slip through the holes in the rear section an then its pulled togeather by butterfly nuts an all the eletrics will also meet up by them plugs systems an then when finished sailing (thats assumeing she floats ) i just remove the S/S an then i just undo the butterfly nuts an remove them then gently pull the two halfs apart an then yes Bob you are right she will be standing in the livin room in her cradles stands in two bits till time for sailing again
hows that ?
