I have made the rein/shot ingots to finish replacing the ballast and have begun installing them. 900lbs of old wet steel ballast out, so far about 1100lbs of new dry lead ballast back in. Almost ready to close the keel back up. Yea!!! Look for the 4-9-06 update on the 'ballast replacement" page http://www.funtigo.com/havasumontgomerys?g=23004804&cr=1 Sean _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
