Larry, I am not the expert but I don't believe the M15 ever had a centerboard that could rust. I thought they were all fiberglass with a lead weight near the low end.
However you can probably get a new CB from Bob which is fiberglass and lead for a lot less than $600. I have one of the new CBs in my M15 #310 and had to sand it down slightly to get it to fit but I am quite happy with it. Doug Kelch --- "Hughston, Larry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > To all.
