Title: Re: M_Boats: 17 center board
Roger Winiarski, www.bristolbronze.com, would cast an M17
board in bronze. However, I doubt it would be cost-effective. I also
had a machine-shop offer to cut one from naval bronze.

I had the same idea. I
think my estimate came in around $1,000 for stainless. I then got the bright
idea of having one cast in bronze. I had no luck finding anyone who could do a
bronze casting that large.....at any price.
Bob was going to do the
centerboard for the new M23 in bronze. Wonder if he ever found anyone to do
it? There is a bit of difference between the early cast CB�s, and later
ones.

Hello,
As soon as I receive the
estimate out I'll be sure to share the information. My only
concern is
whether the geometry of the centerboards are consistent
across model
years.

Mark,
I have a '76 M-17 with
the same problem I would be interested in the quote you get, as I
was thinking of doing the same. Maybe they will cut a deal for two
or three?!

Hello
Mr.Lang
You may want to make things really easy on yourself
by taking the boat to a yard
and using their hoist. They usually will
have all the necessary tools at hand to make quick
work of the task.
Also this method is sure to maintain that all to important household
harmony
I am currently awaiting an estimate on the
fabrication of a new stainless steel
centerboard.
I have a 1977
M17 Flushdeck. The previous owner did little to protect this
vital
part of the boat. the boat was slipped in saltwater for well
over five years resulting
in a heavily corroded centerboard. Prone to
sticking and really slowed the boat down.
The board was pulled and
sandblasted revealing what looks life the surface of Mars.
I have
thought of using an adhesive epoxy to fill an fair the board. then seal
with a layer of glass.
But I'll wait till the estimate arrives to see
if it's worth the trouble.

I am a do- it- yourselfer
most of the time. Ive got my Monty-17 on the
trailer and now am
trying to figure a way to raise ii enough to unstick and
drop the
center board. I plan on doing the full sandblasting, coating, and
epoxy of the trunk and board. I have a few hair-brained ideas on
how to lift
the boat enough but am interested to hear if any one
else has a sure fire
way before I get in more trouble than my wife
might like!
