when I bought a 20+ year old Lightning to sail & restore, I

Wow he must have been filthy rich Doug..That's over 1.20..

Dimes make great #8 washers and cheaper than SS.

I find it strange to use copper pennies. When two different metals
are placed together in salt water, there is terrible corrosion.




I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
