Bob, at 30 dollars a pop, I think I will stick with aluminum cleats. What is my price plus shipping from your facility? ---Larry Hughston in Sacramento M-15 1981 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Steve R.

How many boating units must I ask Santa to set aside to purchase a new stern cleat? Or bow cleat? The holes will match, right? While we are at it, how much is a centerboard? I really appreciate you contribution to the list and the input from Jerry. steve Steve R.

Cast stainless is light, shiny and strong. Several people have switched out the aluminum cleats for stainless.
