Welcome Steve! My Admirable is named Debbie so we have a lot in common! My M-15 has been repaired at some point in time. Two circular plates have been installed on either side of the centerboard trunk, near the top. I wish they had used a removable plate. These are removable, but I need a phillips screwdriver to remove them. There is also an indication of work done on either side of the keel just below where the keel joins the hull. There are circles of "new" colored fiberglass about the size of a half dollar. I assume the centerboard pin was replaced at some time in the past. A worn pin “bushing” seems to be a common problem among older boats and one that can be repaired in a straightforward manner. This may or may not be your situation. I do not think I get water in through he hull, but the hatch is suspect in a downpour. Howard - the Midwest Rendezvous sounds good! Steve R.
