last week i got an 17'Oday day sailer for free and it is in very good shape. this is the first DS for me to own so i have some questions. from the looks of it im guesing its a 65 to 68 model, the hull # is in the17 thousands and the class# is 3080. i heard the seats are supposed to have s/foam in them so i looked with a flashlight to make sure and it was empty?
all of the DS i have seen have two plugs at the back of the boat. mine doesnt have any, just the two for the seats?
and right behind the dagger board on the floor there is a whole but it isnt the size of a plug hole and it is threaded?
in the bow there are 2 brackets in the front and back on both sides for something im guesing a tray but not sure?
my DS has a handle crank. ive seen daggerboards off boats before but not off a DS. there is glue on both sides of the dagger board, im guesing gaskets were glued on. i need to know if there was.
any information will help me out a lot. im hoping to get her out on the lake this weekend wether i have to stick a cork in the hole or not.
