That's an interesting proposition, Steve. I am a Michigander, but have family in Lexington and Eastern Kentucky and might be able to drop off my c-board on one of my many trips to the "hollers" (Wayland and Hindman, Kentucky) to visit relatives. Where do you sail in the Lexington, KY rea? --Craig p.s. I'm no metallurgist: Does anyone out there know whether the older M's centerboard iron or steel? Can either metal be galvanized, or just steel? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve R" <stever@mail.saabnet.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2002 7:38 PM Subject: M_Boats: Centerboard The local galvanizing operation has a $150 minimum charge. I want to make up a new winch post and have it galvanized, but not for $150. Anybody near by want to get up a group order? Steve R.
