[quote=Edchris177]Got the album to work. http://www.thebeachcats.com/pictures?g2_itemId=120185 It's pretty grungy on the hulls, but I think it will clean up nicely. I took a rubber block & 400 grit wet/dry to a few spots. They came out pretty nice, it's not actually a white boat! I appreciate all the suggestions, & anything else people might notice from the photos. I would sooner do pre-emptive work, based on others experience, rather than reinvent the wheel. [quote]If the blades are black with fibers showing, then they are likely original EPO rudders.[/quote] If you go to the album & select max size, you can just see what looks like fibres.

If so, should the bolts still be changed out? [img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=120247&g2_serialNumber=4[/img] [quote] The front crossbars have a tendency to crack near the mast step rivets.[/quote] There are no visible cracks on either side. [img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=120304&g2_serialNumber=4[/img] The front crossbar does not appear to have the upgraded anchor. [img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=120307&g2_serialNumber=4[/img] The rear traveler seems to run on one "ball",(left side) & one "slug", (hidden on the right). Is that normal? [img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=120316&g2_serialNumber=4[/img] What is the difference between the H18 SE, SX, & Magnum models? I think the mainsail has "18SE" written on it in pencil, from the manufacturer. I see what looks like "SX" written on the underside of the tramp. The mast measures 28'1".
