She is a sad little boat that had a 6" slash through the bottom of the hull and a stuck keel. While fixing the slash, we found evidence of previous repairs to the side of the keel trunk that were poorly done, i. e. unsaturated cloth over flaking bottom paint, little wonder that she leaked. Anyway, that has all been fixed, and if it ever quits raining, we going to find out what 's going on with the keel. I'll keep you posted, Earl _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats Remember, there is no privacy on the Internet!
