Thanks for this. We bought a 235 last summer and have not had it in the water yet. We plan on doing work to it in the spring. We need to do the mast base, as ours is the first gen base and cracked.

Glad this video helped, let me know if you have any other questions, I might have some insight.

I have never seen a mast taken down. It does look very heavy.

@@ColleenCox-d3u all aluminum, but it’s the system of standing rigging that helps provide the strength.
