I think the idea is replacing the old boards with a glass leaded one that would fit the older boats. The question I have is how to free my board on Eugene's old boat. He showed me pictures of the board being down and out before he cleaned it. He told me it was taken down and epoxied. I have been unable to free the board since purchasing her. Any ideas? She is in the water. Even with the board up she sails real well. Irv

I have heard a lot of talk about sticking centerboards and always thought it just due to marine growth and or rust on the board. How can the trunk colapse? How many boats actually suffer from this? It would seem the easiest way to remedy the rust issue would be to drop the board, grind it smooth and coat with epoxy. Why bother with replacing with a glassed lead one (though it does sound totally cool!). _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
