I have learned whenever I am searching for Ericson boats or paraphernalia I always word search Erickson, Ericsson and Erikson - amazing people that own the boats do not spell it correctly.

I've been watching the price on this boat drop little by little, could be a good deal for someone though - not affiliated with the owner in anyway - http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/boa/4536403420.html

Not sure how much they fetch, but I did turn down $100.00 for the wheel brake assembly.

That Yacht Specialties pedestal setup was mine, sold on Ebay for the bargain price of $102.00. I'm kicking myself for not ending the auction early and selling locally.

Hank I think I ended up with 1 15/32" holes this was the exact space between the masthead plates. Make sure to center the holes on the exits for the new sheaves - aluminum was thicker than I thought but still easy drilling - get a good sharp Demming drill, cleaned up basically square up the...

Sold Sold.......................

Don't know the seller, just sharing....... though I did look at the boat. http://ventura.craigslist.org/boa/1756261446.html

I bought another boat so am selling my E29, just too small for a family of six with the dog. The boat is a 1972 with an A4 engine, I am selling cheap because while I purchased a ton of new parts for it I no longer have the time to install it all; also do not want to pay for two slip fees while I...

Michael, thanks for the info., I am still waiting to get the boat out to me, currently a fresh water boat inland - could get it done there, probably for less $ but too far away to watch how well the job is done.

Or try this one from E35 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Edson-Steering-Pedestal-/330431692657?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item4cef437f71

I've seen many inquiries about shorty pedestals, just came across this one while trolling Ebay, not affiliated with the seller - not even bidding on it...

The prior owner hauled this boat about three weeks ago, did a quick scuff and was about to put on new bottom paint for the sale, I stopped him so I could see the hull prior to slathering with bottom paint, glad I did. The first surveyor recommended stripping the entire hull below the waterline...

These are some pics, the boat is a fresh water boat but will be moving to salt water when the bottom is done.

Loren thanks for the reply, so from your comment I take it you're saying the lack of a ground cable will not cause the blistering? The keel is lead and it appears that pockets / blisters dime to quarter size have appeared on the keel and the vicinity of the keel on the hull. The...

Alright, a question for the experts here, I just purchased another boat ( not an Ericson, but I still own one so don't throw me off the site ) but this boat - non cored fiberglass hull, fin keel - lead, had a single very large grounding wire that went from the engine to a keel bolt, this wire...
