Thanks Tom. I just went ahead and ordered the new one.

The gaiter on my bilge pump is turn up. The 28 M is new to me this year, and I have no reason to believe the pump was ever rebuilt. After looking at the price for the separate gaiter and diaphragm kits I thought it might be wise to just buy a new Gusher Urchin. Does anyone know if a new one, which c...

My M 28 came with two sets of battens and two sails. I don't want to shot myself in the foot, by selling a set, but if you are in the New England area, and have a hard time sourcing them, we can talk about it.

I do not plan on stepping the mast again anytime soon, if ever. I bought her thing way because the previous owner just assumed the buyer would be trailerin...

It was a bit of a shit show, but only because this is the first time I had a mast stepped and the boatyard told me I didn't even need to be there. Obviously nothing could keep me away, but thank god I had this forum and had been studying for the last six months because I had to direct every step, no...

I am guessing this is somewhat dependent on the paint, surface and the kind of rollers used. I recently painted my 28' and it took one gallon of Iterlux ACT, with a little leftover to do my 8' dinghy as well.
