Great Photos, nice job. Thanks Bill. ----Larry #189 -----Original Message----- From: BILLAMICASR(a)aol.com [mailto:BILLAMICASR@aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2005 7:39 AM To: montgomery_boats(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Changes and additions to Photo Site Hi All, I've made several changes to the Photo Site. Randy Graves has sold "Dinky" to Dennis & Karen Detlof of Oregon see changes at http://www.funtigo.com/MSOG?b=195272&c=1789789&p=start Also notice, I've put a new photo as the cover page. Actually, Craig Honshell's boat camping photo and two others will rotate as the cover page for the album. Also... I've made changes to the Boats & Owners section. Now, each page is on its own. You'll see there are two current pages each for the West & East coast Boats & Owners. This was done so you dont have to go page to page until you find the picture you want. Also, when you wish to refer your picture page to someone else, you can use the particular page link as the address. Hope all the changes go over well. As always... I need more photos! I've got lots of room for individual shots and I'd like to do some more albums of pristine as well as just plain ole Montys. Every boat has a story to tell. Thanks, and enjoy the photos.

Jerry, I still have my '88 M15, with all original equipment, in Roseville. You are welcome to have a look.

I haven't been in a 15 for about 4 years and have been in a number of different boats since them and I just don't have a good vision of the proportions.

RE: M_Boats: Filling holes in transom-Bob
by Tom Smith 10 May '05

Thanks for the detailed reply Bob. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you view it, I'm not working on the deck until next winter, so I'm not dealing with any core damage...yet. My first thoughts are I will back the larger holes in the transom with cloth and fill with thick epoxy. The only experience I have with this kind of work is removing old hardware and filling and re-drilling for new on our M15. Pretty simple stuff, even for me. Sounds like you did a great job--I'll review this post in the dead of winter when I'm experiencing similar pain. t Tom Smith & Jane VanWinkle M15/345--Chukar M17/064--Unamed
