Thanks Okie,
With the great progress you're making, I'm not gonna ask you to take time out to work some rusty metal parts loose. However, if they were to just happen to separate after a good soaking in PB Blaster, I'd be interested. I know shipping's gonna be $, so I don't want to waste good cash on another boat anchor (I've already got one of those).
Quit lollygagging around & get that boat back in the water already. JK - keep up the good work.
