Please educate me. Pardon the intrusion, but allow me to assist... It's difficult to explain, however if you've ever watched any of the Redneck Comedy shows, (Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, etc) you'll appreciate and possibly even understand the "other" english language used in some parts of the country. Then there's Ebonics or is it Ebonix - sorry to say, I'm not to versed so I can't help much there, but I believe a "tip" is different than most of us may be familiar with. Same may be true for the "a" and the "rary". So, you see, it's not definable as one may believe. It's more in the eyes of the beholder. Here in Oregon a "rary" is a slang term for "Hamms Beer" a rare and old style of brew. Like Lone Star or Klb or ohers. Therefor, it's easier to see where the "Tip a rary" comes from... So, to cap it off (so to speak) my interpritation of Larry's statement is he thinks I'm in need of a beer (true - I was promised one and never got the chance to drink it) so, thanks to Larry for the concern and thanks to Connie for making it possible to explain to the others who've not been to the N.W. Well, that pretty much covers it... So, where's my beer? Bill Sailboatless in Oregon

I've considered buying Tom Smiths M-15 which reads and looks like a new boat with more equipment than I will require, and at a decent price. Just me, but I rarely buy used. If I do buy an M-15 she'll be ordered with lots of goodies. I'm off to the wooden boat show in Port Townsend, WA next month to visit the Chandlery to see what I want in the way of "salty stuff". Thanks for the offer. Here's one back to you. Take about 30 pictures of your M-15, send me a CD, and we'll put them on the Photo Site so you'll have a link to give to prospective buyers. I believe the pics of Tip on the site are what began the interest in the sale. Possibly Tom can verify that he looked at those pics a few times before he Emailed me.

> It is illegal to discharge raw sewage into coastal or inland > navigable waters. That's what I thought. Thanks, Steve. I've bookmarked that page for future reference. No doubt the CWA is ignored about as much as speeding limits. But it's good to know the facts. Come to think of it, I still have my "Little John" (http:// www.sportys.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&did=19&product_id=297) from my flying days. I think I'll toss it in the cabin for those little emergencies. David =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David W. Wood -=- dwood(a)dwoodworks.com 1981 M15 -=- Hull #163

Boat less in Gig Harbor
by Dennis 20 Aug '05

20 Aug '05

Hi, My name is Dennis and I live in Gig Harbor, WA. I am interested in doing some day sailing and have a lot great water around me. I don't have a boat now but have been looking. I would love to find a Montgomery 17' around the 1988 era. I talked to Bob at Montgomery boats and had a wonderful discussion about the Montgomery 17. He told me about your group that helps each other with question and answers. I was interested in finding a list of people in my area who are selling their boats for newer Montgomery or larger ones. Since I subscribed Friday I have already had many e-mails from boats owners and I have learned a lot already. Thanks again, Dennis (boat less in Gig Harbor)

Re: M_Boats: M-15 CB Repair

>>>>>>>When John Harris owned #412 M-15 he did Centerboard repairs which were well documented with pictures. Look for album "M-15 Centerboard Repair" or follow the link, >>>>>>>>>>>>> The photos of my former boat suspended by a forklift seem to horrify most, and that's probably good. Just be sure you trust the sling. In the photos the boat is held up by a three-point wire sling I made up, attached to the chainplates. If you look close you can see there's a separate-but-equal safety sling (heavy red line), in case one of the two broke. We got Al's M-17 board back in this way a few weekends back. (We have a new, bigger forklift since that photo was taken.) The M-17 is way heavier and a good candidate for a marina's travel-lift. The usual disclaimer: don't try this at home. Unless you happen to have a forklift and some 1500-pound test wire. About a year ago I dropped a 26-footer while forklifting it. The boat and crew came away unharmed, but I still need a few beers in me before I'll tell the story. John
