1. Weld repair 2) Replace – Have found this scrap yard very helpful and large inventory at very reasonable pricing https://www.massmarineparts.com/
3. Buy new – Klacko marine? South Shore? – will be expensive John Read Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: Bill Coleman via CnC-List Sent: Monday, November 07, 2022 7:05 AM To: Stus-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Bill Coleman <colt...@gmail.com> Subject: Stus-List Re: Spreader replacement Yeah, that's a nothing burger.

I have a 1982 C&C 32 cb. The crack in the picture is on the SB spreader leading edge. Here is a link to a photo of the damaged section https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PqaaEQj_VdWYvkdtyLgIO11Gto9svM9J I want to replace but don’t know where to source the part. In the meantime, would it be worth trying to throughbolt or rivet plates top and bottom to increase strength? Or would the necessary holes compromise further? All advice much appreciated.
