Almost done with the required projects to keep it operational. Soon onto the upgrades!

Ericson 32 Hull#165
A cold day outside, but at least most of the work was interior.
Today I was able to remove the remaining trim boards in the cabin, as well as the 1/2 wall in the head between the main and forward bulkheads.
I buggered up the trim pieces a little, but I may be able to glue them back together before re-installation without too much undue ugliness.
Another surprise was the condensation on all the windows and ceiling. At first I thought all of my window resealing was faulty, but there was so much moisture in the boat, that there was no way to tell. I think I'll have to invest in a new Nicro vent. A second vent would be nice too, but that will have to wait for more funds.
This is the view of the bulkhead with all the trim and accessories removed.
There are a hell of a lot of wires going through that bulkhead.
In retrospect, I probably should have identified all the wires and labeled them before just snipping them off, but none of them are standard anyway, so I'd actually like to run proper marine wires if I win the lotto.
It will probably be a couple of weeks before I can get back to it, but I feel good about my progress so far. To everyone who has commented, thanks for the advice, it has really helped.
