Jim Jesse is a good surveyor also.

:: Hi:
::
:: I've seen the Top Gun recently . . . the boats in great
:: shape . . . except the bulk head needs a new support
:: brace . . . and I'd replace the phillips round head
:: bolts (tack fitting, after lower fitting, back stay
:: fitting) with good 3 or 4 star hex heads . . . update
:: the after lower brace attachment at the seats with
:: U-bolt/marine eye arrangement.
::
:: The boat is sailable, however, needs the bulkhead
:: vertical legs (forward) lenghtened to just above the
:: hull, making sure the bulkhead is (again) in an even
:: vertical plane, with new horizontal piece fore and aft.
:: This type of repair was the subject of an earlier mail
:: still on the site.
::
:: The bulkhead actually is not in bad condition . . . but
:: its only a matter of time and hard sailing.
::
:: I put those big bolts through the horizontal piece years
:: ago for the original owner.
::
:: Bruce Sibley is a good surveyor.
::
:: I don't think the boat needs to be surveyed . . .its in
:: real good shape except for the bulkhead and minor
:: upgrades.

:: :: :: Need a survey done in Alameda by someone familiar with
:: :: :: the inherent Express 27
:: ::
:: :: :: problems- bulkhead failures, deck problems, etc. Any
:: :: :: suggestions? Phone numbers needed to contact too. Does
:: :: :: Kim D. do surveys?
:: ::
:: :: :: Thanks!!, Dave
