David. The Monty 15 is perfect for two. Thats just enough extra ballast to handle in a blow while keeping her light on her feet. Plus sharing the ride with a petite blond is always nice. I'll look through my photos. Going to try to get one soon with the red 150 Genny when I get it rigged. Bill. I notice that you have a block on the railabout halfway back to sheet your spinnaker, where is the cleat?? I cant seem to come up with a good spot to mount the Genny cleats that don't get in the way.

Actually Jerry built 2 more 17's I got mine in 1993 and Greg got his in early 94 and that was the last one Jerry built. Where are you on the East Coast? Regards Gary

Larry, That sounds close to what we paid. They do include a set up and check out charge and the first check up at 10 hrs. was taken care of by the Yamaha dealer. That would probablty run you about $80-100. by itself. I'd ask and make sure that is included with the price. On a side note I think it's an excellent choice if you need the standard shaft (15" ) model. It starts up very easy, runs a long time on a tank of gas and has the power to push the M15. Regards, Randy W. >>> Larry.Hughston(a)dgs.ca.gov 7/30/04 11:55:08 AM >>> What have you folks who have the Yamaha 2.5, 4 stroke pay for your motors ? I am getting $950. and up here in the Sacramento Valley region. Does that sound right?
