Dave, I guess a picture would really tell the tale- but I am sure you have more important things to worry about. Still I have the ability to build whole new sections if the boat is still streight. I would be very interested in buying the mast if nothing else. Will 510-508-7231

:: The boat is not salvagable, she was under water with a
:: pile through her back,at right angle to her slip, under
:: a 10' surge with 3 to 4' swells over her for 20+ hours.
:: We just have never ever seen anything like this. The
:: hole is 4-5' wide, the starbord bow has a hole 3'
:: wideabove the waterline, the rudder is broken in half.
:: The keel to hull joint looks like new, not even a hair
:: line crack.The express is unbelievably strong, people
:: who see her can not believe there is anything left, its
:: just those damn pilings
::
:: :: Dave,
::
:: :: I am in the process of rebuilding another E-27 after it
:: :: was damaged in a collision. Within the next couple of
:: :: weeks I am going to the moulds to make new parts. What
:: :: condition is your boat in? Is it salvagable or totaly
:: :: crushed? Do you want help fixing or would you want to
:: :: sell it?
::
:: :: With all the tough times down there I wish you well.
:: :: Hopefully you have not lost more than your boat.
::
:: :: Good Luck,
::
:: :: Will
:: ::
:: ::
:: :: :: which side do you need? I pulled express yo self this
:: :: :: morning after being sunk for a month. all the sta and
:: :: :: port, abeam to stern is good.Rudder is no good. mast and
:: :: :: boom ok. will post later or ask for parts and I will
:: :: :: check. thank you
