ericson 30+

Hi Everyone! This is my first post, and I have to say thanks for supporting such a trove of information about Ericsons! My wife and I have owned a 1985 Ericson 30+ for a few years. Our main question is, "What is the freeboard suppossed to be on a 30+?" I have looked high and low foir this...

I posted recently about maybe needing to repower and many of you were extremely helpful in deciding on a repower and what motor to get and so on. Now I'm further along and I'm hoping to fit a Beta 20, it looks superb. I'm now hoping to find one of you who has a 30 plus with a Beta 20 (or 16 I...
