What a project Jim. I just removed, cleaned and epoxyed my m-17 centerboard and noticed I was a little tight. I am hoping it will last another 10 years before I have to undergo this surgery. You used the chainplates to raise the boat? How did you get it up so high? Once the old punchings are out how do you get the swelled fiberglass in the inside of the trunk back to normal?

Since I need to replace it I am thinking of plasma cutting a solid plate. I would try to match the weight and center of gravity of original board. Should it be heavier ?
