Good job Yan!   I remember doing it about 10 years ago with the boat sat on two dumpy bags of wheat!

As for possible cracks around the bottom of the keel box ;  I had this a couple of times when the boat sat on some pebbles in the Camel estuary and some got jammed in the keel/box, so I fixed those.  I hadn't checked again when I sold the boat after it had been in the estuary on the same spot, so worth checking now the keel is out.  

Did you buy Mustang with the same Yam 4hp engine?  That was a perfect engine for the boat and had spent most of its life in freshwater.
