Greetings! We have found a Heritage 38/1976 Chas. Morgan design
that was originally built in Clearwater, FL. It has been a
one-owner boat. Our problem is this: Our visual inspection and
the surveyor report show that the 2 steel I-beam located under
the salon cabin sole are in an extremely deteriorated condition.
The metal is rusted and falls off in chunks!!! And that is on
the portions that were accessible!!! We are in the USVI and have
not been able to locate anyone that can help us determine if this
is a cost-prohibitive undertaking! We love the boat design. We
intend to liveaboard - but still want to sail to all of the
islands. Does anyone know of a recall on the 38's to correct this
problem? (the original owner hasn't been of much assistance!)
Does anyone out there have any information and/or suggestions??
We would be most grateful for your imput!! Thx.
