Zoltan's old boat?

[ebb]

Certainly, The Way name is painted professionally in the bottom photo.
And it will certainly be easy enough to see where Zoltan's clunky stanchions once where,
if they since have been removed from the lazaret area.
One of those large handheld mirrors from the drugstore will help.
When you look inside the laz and up into the deck & transom underneath... with the mirror.

That pair of mushroom thruhulls in the transom will be hard to erase their having been
there, now that they are gone.

But I think if your boat has the original rigging, that would be most suspicious,
especially examined closely to see if the 3/16" wire has ever been removed.
There shouldbe enough caked paint and discolorations... and leaks... to convince you that
the rig was never upgraded.

And it would have been thoroly upgraded by Zoltan. Probably chainplates too.
If he went to 1/4 wire, he'd have to use 7/16 or 1/2" bolts on plates & mast.

So that leaves the Builders Number Plate, which could have been cleaned up.
But you think something's wrong about it....?
A number of archived technical posts on the subject exist here.
Bill Phelon, who knows most about our boats, may have an idea about the mystery.
And what boat roy has.

Are former owners able to be traced and contacted for specific identity clues?
