M_Boats: Clunking centerboard

Thanks to one and all for this "string". I will continue to let my cast iron cb rest on the pin. Read your article, Jerry, about shaping the board on Coyote. Spent four hours yesterday cleaning up the cb casting on my 17. Have found that grinding cast iron deposits some very strange goo on my clothing that will not wash out. I may have invented a totally useless compound though, one part cast iron dust, one part dress shirt dye and three parts perspiration. Once I get that trailing edge down to about 1/8 inch I expect to be able to pull TWO water skiers with the boat this coming season. Then both my son and his fiancee can ski at the same time. Good stuff. Messin' about in boats, Tom B, Mont.17, #258
