Understood.

Gabe, one of his hands an= I went over all the remaining cavities/compartments and found only a half=dozen minor and repairable spots in the hull plating. The bulkheads show s=aggered severe pits/holes that also can be dealt with reasonably.

4>=AO I agree about the surveyor.

Also, your email ended up in my ju=k mail. I have added you to my contacts to avoid that in the future. I reg=et the delay in responding.

For your information, I contac=ed a Navy colleague and asked for the present contractors information conc=rning construction of the latest Navy LCM8's

I did thi= to quantify your question about replacement costs of the Barge. I was Ref=red to Kvichak Marine in Seattle. Art Parker there said my gues= of 2 million is likely low. A build that heavy is likely a 3 to 4 million=dollar job in his opinion. His company is bidding on the Caiman design 60 =nd 70 for the USN.

Anna-Upon Good Morning reviewing and inspecting the in=ide of the compartments, forward of the engine room, we have come up with = quotation for repairing all the "wasted" plate.

We will also have to remove=both keel coolers due to their location with the plate that has =o be cut out.
