Norm, please e-mail me on the responses re: Depth Sounder. My brother got one of the low end Hummingbird types for his powerboat to help him stay out of the way of rocks on the prop end. ----Larry Hughston <larry.hughston(a)dgs.ca.gov> -----Original Message----- From: Norm Bundek [mailto:nbundek@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, December 27, 2004 11:40 AM To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Has anyone used the Garmin 168 GPS Sounder?

Flotation
by Sandyal55＠aol.com 25 Dec '04

25 Dec '04

I've seen these threads about adding flotation off and on for some time now. An idea I've thought of but NOT TESTED is this: Get plastic trash bags (good quality for heavier plastic) and open them up in the compartment you want to be for flotation. Tape/glue them in place in an open configuration. Then use the spray cans of foam to completely fill the compartment/bag (after expansion has happened). Trim off any excess foam and close the bag with tape/glue; whatever works for you. The foam then won't stick to the hull/fiberglass and would be easier to remove should that be necessary in the future.

Mine didn't have any. If you are concerned, inflate a truck intertube under the cockpit Don

Re: M_Boats: turnbuckles

Hello Howard, I do have the flatter plane, open body turnbuckles that came as an assembly with the T bolts. The original M17 turnbuckles are the round body style with locking cap style nuts. I do have a mast raking system but my toggles got bent before I ever installed it.
