Never found a keel.......

Post by old guys sail »

For my 1980 V-22. Its a shame because this boat was given to me and is in such good shape. I bought a 1992 26S dave decided to part out the V-22 out to get back some of the cost of the 26. All parts there (except the swing keel) and in good condition. Email me....

Bill,

I sent you an email about a part. Please let me know if it's still available. :D

That is a shame. If i ever decide to do anything with the keel on my boat i will use lead ingots bolted to the bottom of the boat and a centerboard made of solid fiberglass with just enough weight to make it go down, say a hundred pounds i never liked that keel, and i now have such a short mast on the boat i do not need all that weight in the keel. If i keep this boat i will do this next yeat. My keel will then be availible. its in fine shape.

If you get around to selling it before I start refinishing mine next summer, I'd be game for buying yours and saving myself the hassle of re-glassing and fairing this rusty old one.

Well it looks like it could be availible in the fall. I don't know how much it is worth.
