earl: great to see the update and congats on re-floating #373. amazing how some thinks on your 17 are identical to mine (#375), such as the motor mount and batter master switch the same make/model. do you have the ARCO sheet and main haylard winches? did you remove the electrical system? nice new main you have ... need to get me one of those. it is interesting how one 17 a few weeks older (if that) than mine has needed a full keel ballast replacement. my SWEET PEA has had her centerboard refinished, but no problems with the ballast after about 20 years of 6-7 month long soakings in puget sound. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 - SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com :: Sage Marine - www.sagemarine.us --- On Mon, 4/4/11, Earl Landers <elanders@bak.rr.com> wrote:
As I have posted previously, I purchased M17 373 at the end of last year. It was an abused/distressed vessel L. The keel was stuck, the trailer had issues, it had no floor and there was a fracture of the hull. I am happy to report that all those issues have been resolved an she is sailing again J http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=37636 <http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=37636&id=100000835691253&l=4e5bf09248
