[Alberg30] Help-Big Problem

[Fritz]

Hi Tom,
That's not really a problem so much as a design factor it appears. :) All
the boats have/will have the same thing. It is simply a matter of adding
3/8 inch aluminum peices to both sides of the wooden brace after it has
been slowly lifted with a building jack. We still have the building jack
in place actually. :) We will be fitting the braces on this week
hopefully. Just about everyone in the Annapolis area has done this. If the
rest of the boat is in good shape, this is not an issue. I don't think
that should keep you from buying the boat. Best of luck.

Oh, here's the url of a bunch of pictures about it.
