let me state for the record, before all the pro-survey people
chime in, that i intend to have any new boat purchase surveyed.

Rich,

IMHO, the to-hulls aren't THAT big of a deal. Of course they aren't the best situation, and I may well change mine out this spring, just to be sure, but my boat is a '78, and I have never had a problem with them. I do carry a set of those tapered wooden

Hi Gary & Derek,

Well ... duh ... I should have figured I could just buy them. I thought I was going to have to buy some dowels and start whittling!

Gary ... as far as I can tell, I have the same to-hulls. There is one for the sink, another for th

Subject:
Through-hulls
Is there some special concern with the "thru hulls" on the C-25 that I've missed? I have depth, speed, galley and forward vanity thru-hulls. All are Marelon (I think) seacocks except speed & depth. All thru hulls should have a
