Hi, can anyone help? I have a thirty foot carvel planked wooden boat built in the 1960's. She is moored in a Marina. At the moment she's been floating for the last five years, has a lot of weed underneath her, but lets in very little water. I'd like to lift her out in order to repaint and antifoul the hull. I am worried that if I take her out, the planks below the waterline will dry out, and the seams open up, or that I will disturb the existing caulk, which still appears to function well. I have limited money, do you think I am taking a huge risk taking her out, and letting her dry out? How can I remove the weed without causing any damage? Thanks for your time, Mollyfish
