Hi Wayne,
These ads are only examples taken from the Web, not the original ad. Use the link to go to the actual owner's ad to get info.
If the link is dead, then the boat has probably sold or is off the market. You could also try putting a part of the ad into Google to search for it on-line.

Re: On the hard...
I was never impressed with the flimsy keel on my 30'. The boat has spent most of it's life in the water and hasn't been blocked up, except for haulouts. The keel should have been a full length "V" of aluminum around 6-7" high, 4-5" at the top and tapering down so it could support the weight better. ...

Re: 29' Alcan Project $10,000
Although hard to read, part of the text in the brochure says: 500 pounds of polyurethane, foamed and securely bonded up to the gunwales, provides a flotation force of over 12,000 lb - 5000 lb more than the weight of the boat. In short, the boat is almost unsinkable. The specs claim 7000 lb for the w...

Hi Jay, My "2 cents worth" would be to leave this area empty so that you can always know what is going on down there. If you do gather rainwater or condensation, it can be easily removed with a shop vac. BTW . . . . can you still switch your original post to the Tech Section of the forum, so that w...
