John;
	It might be helpful if you tell us where you are, where the boat
is.  There are many owners and subscribers on this list who might be
able to assist you, someone might be near you.  There is at least one
other on the list with a boat as old as yours.
	BTW Rummy and me are both in South Carolina.  But there are
listors from Texas to Oregon to Maine to Florida and in between.

John,
Sounds very suspicious to me. With a boat that old, it could simply be
that 
the rivets broke from fatigue, but I rather doubt it. You will need to
get the 
boat on the trailer, remove the rub rail insert (rubber) and do a
further 
inspection. It might mean that you didn't have the boat rigged properly,
meaning 
to much tension on the standing rigging. The foam insulation in the bow
could 
be water logged, putting more pressure on the bow of the boat.
Without seeing the boat, it is really hard to know what happened. Either
way, 
she needs to come out to at least replace the rivets.

Rummy
