Ron, Welcome. I assume you mean the centerboard does not lower all the way? I've got a keel model. my main concern would be the condition of the cable.
I had Osprey Marine at Herrington Harbor South soda blast,epoxy and paint the bottom of my boat 1 1/2 years ago. They did 4 coats of epoxy, 2 of paint. 35/3 The Office Annapolis On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 10:54 AM, Ron Kaye <ronkaye...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes we are a little late, its time to get moving on this.
