INVESTIGATOR 563

thoughts on outboard mounting. I am toying with the idea of mounting outboard on transom in the center with twin rudders or possibly making a proper outboard well on the starboard side , I may also need to scallop out a section of the transom to let the leg sit vertical.

Re centreboard - was interested in replacing my centreboard with an aluminium one. Could anyone tell me the width of the centreboard on our investigators as I downloaded the spec sheet that's on this website and am thinking of having the sheet metal shop next door quote me on building a replacement...

I was about to post the same question when i read this. Have you come with a new setup yet geoff. I think i may go for the center cockpit mount with a snap shackle on the mainsheet block. Would love to hear what others have on their boats.

How much does this site cost a year. I would be happy to chip in.
