--------------------------------------------------------------While we're at it, can we discuss the stove...
Mine came with the boat, never been off - how do I weigh it? Does it have to weigh 12 lbs with or without alcohol in the canisters?
I have wooden battens in my hull? Exactly where are those things and how do I get them out?
I was thinking about changing back to the 3/4" prop shaft too?
And I still haven't figured out how to weigh the stove
What I refer to is the wood strips attached to the hull in the bow above the V-berth as battens. Probably only need a screw driver and a pry bar.
Also found in the main cabin, between the cabinets, and above the V berths as well (at least on hull #205). They are light pine. Took some of mine out in order to replace them.
