I stopped by Swashbuckley on my way home from Dallas on Sunday. He has the stock centerboard. There are a few chips in the edge, but mine has those also. Other than the damage at each end of the centerboard trunk, the boat is solid. The P.O. plugged the bilge drain and the auto bailer for some reason and drilled a new hole in the transom that goes into the cockpit. Swashbuckley told me that some of the deformation has come out since it has been off the trailer. Looks like it will be a good boat when the work on it is done.
