There is also lead in the glass centerboard to keep it down. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irvin Kooris" <kooris@rcn.com> To: "Maria Jorge" <mcjorge@bellsouth.net>; "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 10:01 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Iron Ballast
Maria, Any idea about the keel ballast is it lead or steel that can rust. Irv
