Jack,

Yes, I mean the entire fiberglass piece.  It has the original vinyl
covering.  It isn't in bad shape, but it certainly isn't show condition.
It isn't cracked or warped.

It is from a '72.  I think the early 71's were slightly wider, and I think
72-74 were the same.  I'm no expert on the bulkheads, though.

You are welcome to it, but I don't have time to ship it.  When I fly back
to Houston, I'm always in a rush.  I'm doing the final move on June 8, so
if I still have it on that date, it's going to Miami.
