Hunter 31 FT Loudon Marina
I own a 31 foot 1983 hunter. Apparently someone stole the rear ladder, and I don't want to buy a transom ladder and rig it. Does anyone know a place where I could buy a used one, or know anyone that I could give measurements to that could rebuild one? I believe it is stainless steel? Thank you!

I know a fella near me with a '70s era Hunter 30. He's parting it out. No idea if the ladder is the same but I'd be happy to hook you up. He's in Florence, SC.

Kermit, Picric acid which is used to dye plummage is explosive and banding vultures makes them prone to injury
Picric acid? Dying plumage? Exploding feathers? Never heard of that. If it's right, it's not what I was looking for.

Kermit,
Vultures deficate down their legs to cool off. So the defication mixed with an aluminum tag almost causes a cement mix and causes lesions and leg deformations .
Final answer

Ding ding ding! Right-O! Fabulous prize to Hummingbirdbassist! I have a beautiful sunrise image I did several years ago. I'll send you a 10" copy suitable for framing. The title is "Morning Flight." It hung at the Professional Photographers of America International Convention and won First Place and the People's Choice award at the Professional Photographers of South Carolina State Convention. Enjoy!

How long did riddle set out there un answered
I filled out my profile pretty soon after buying our H23 in 2010. I honestly don't have a whole lot of expertise on boats so I figured I'd write about the one thing I do know something about. I rehabilitated a vulture at my home many years ago and asked about banding it when we were planning on releasing it. That's when I found out why vultures don't get banded. I love the trivia aspect of that. (Maybe my next question will be why I didn't feed it before releasing it.)

To answer your question, you're the only one to even mention the question and attempt to answer it in about 3 years. Congratulations!

JAYJR74,

Please forgive us for hijacking this thread! Did the ladder work out?

Probably so it will quickly go back to its natural instinct of being a scavenger instead of relying on being hand fed while in captivity,,,,, just guessing
