We bought a Chrysler pirateer in the spring - great little boat. The dagger board had seen better days and after looking at possible substitutes from other boats, I ended up making my own dagger board. Two pieces of marine 1/4 inch mahogany expoxied together and then shaped first using a jigsaw and then a wood plain - finished with 100 then 300 grit sandpaper. Took me about 1 week. Stained and applied nice varnish - looks better than the orignal. Cost me about $200 in supplies.
