Skip I bought the Pelican ( M-15 #205) in 1982 new in Newport Beach. It has been a great little boat. Istill love the Pelican even after the keel surgery. I might even work it out to be buried in her,
I ordered a new centerboard from Bob and asked him about the ballast. He said that they put about 300 lbs in the new boats. I cant figure out why there was only 150 lbs of ballast in the Pelican. Maybe at some point Jerry decided to up the weight. Jeyy are you out there? Well I am planning to install about 300 lbs of lead. The Pelican might meet Davy Jones on launch day. Skip Do yourself a favor and inspect your CB. I would even suggest that you purchase a new one (lead) from Bob. It would be cheap insurance Captain Jim Sadler sailing vessel Pelican (M-15 #205) On 6/4/07, jim sadler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
A ny thoughts on how much ballast should be in M-15. I removed 150 lbs of steel punchings during keel surgery. I am thinking of replacing with 300 lbs of lead. This seem to be the amount used in the latest versions of M-15 Captain Jim Sailing vessel Pelican M-15 #205 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
