#221 is a stick-built interior boat, but Don - who has just "gone cruising" - had the entire liner out of his liner boat (it came to him that way), and he had photos of the bilge on his boat.

Whew, took a while to look through his blog and I might have missed some references, but here is one entry with a photograph:

I'll see if I can go back and find our correspondence on it, as he and I compared notes back when we were both working on the bilges.  I don't think the ballast in his boat had any real rusting problems either.
