Robbin, It's a roulette wheel kind of thing - I am very biased (dumb) and stubborn, so once in a awhile my version of reality actually aligns with the truth - like betting 'red' / 'black' - you get lucky every once in ten. If your trailer is a 1978 - (why go here) I would think it is either a Trail-Rite or an E-Z'Loader/ Ask Dr. JM or better yet the trailer title may have manufacturer listed. Get out there and go sailing - I am trying to schedule appointments so I have Wednesday cleared for that activity! Take Care, Have Fun, Go Sailing GO Hello my name is Gary, and I am afflicted with WBAS.* *WrinkleBoat Acquisition Syndrome yeah Sean - seems you got it too! Bones,Stan,Robbin, you know who you are - looks like Bert got the cure or contracted catititus or something like that?

Thanks Ed.. Ok so...Camera.... Well this video has numerous video sources as it is a compilation of stuff. The crappy quality video is from a few years ago when I was taking video clips with our Cannon still camera that would allow you to take some quick video clips...but was primarily a still camera...That would be shots like the ones where Jo and I are in the clips. Then there are some quick clips I caught with my Android Evo phone which honestly..for a phone...takes pretty darn nice stuff. The slo-mo opening scene of the wave bashing is from the phone. Then I have a sony FS100 video camera that took a lot of the footage...more high quality stuff.. And finally ...Jo got me a Gopro Heroe II and it's awesome!...1080 video...most of the really high quality stuff is from there. No zoom..but it has an EXTREMELY wide angle fish eye view....170 degrees I think. I am just starting to use this simple little camera and I love it. Best quality video I ever have gotten and way versatile. All kinds of mounts....it's the camera mounted to the mast and the pulpit. uh....I just upgraded my video editor to Corel Video Pro 5. Not the most advanced video editor out there....but very affordable and does more than I know how to do so far. All done 100% on my laptop, an HP Pavillion dv7 with 4 megs of ram. next laptop will have 8 or more. You cannot have enough memory...this stuff is a memory hog and you can totally bonk your machine to a standstill if you get too crazy with only 4megs. No fancy settings used on cameras. The opening balck and white scenes and the slo mo on the wave bashing done in the Corel. Music is ripped from my itunes files. Youtube will allow some songs if they have an agreement with the label,.....if not they disable the audio. I just created one recently that was all timed to the audio and they dis allowed it. Oh well. Look at other videos....I find songs I like that have been used for other videos...then I know that I can use that same song and they will allow it by adding a link to my video page where you can buy that song. That's totally fine with me.

first sail of the year
by Roberta Dvorscak 15 Apr '12

Finally got my first sail of the year today! It wasn't cold and raining for a change on a day without other obligations- a rare combination. The Coast Guard had the bar closed but I wasn't going to cross it with 10' breaking waves against me anyway. 12 kts of wind, sunshine and a good friend to share the day, what more could I ask for? Ok, if a 40 lb spring Chinook had jumped in the boat with us that would have really been over the top, but I'm content with what we had. It felt really good to be under sail again after a long winter break. Mark Dvorscak M23 Faith

My father had a 5-8- it was acquired when he was a 'Marine Dealer' - Montgomery dealer of course- he used to tie it on the foredeck of his -- look away Jerry -- Catalina 22 and Midship 25- I think one may fit on the deck of a 17?? He had a 2hp on it (not my style) I like rowing. GO I like the 'discount' comment - DO NOT go into the boat business for cheap boats!! building or selling.

Prize for most M boats
by Harry Rowe 14 Apr '12

14 Apr '12

Skip, Bones, & Jerry, I have four M17 deck house models, one Flat Deck & an M12 exclusive of the Coleman canoe. Am I the winner? These are exclusive of the other 10 old sailboats I have. Skip should buy my M12 & one M17 to sandwich his M15. Bones forfeited his first right of refusal after inquiring some time back. I don't know if this will even get on the Digest. Too old for computers! Harry

How many boats make a fleet?
by wcampion＠aol.com 14 Apr '12

Well, I just acquired my 3rd M-boat. I think I am becoming a hoarder? lol The serial number is MMP5800280573, which makes this a 5' 8" pram built in May, '73. Of course she needs work. A previous owner mounted some blocks onto her hull for some unknown reason. Below the waterline of course. Why put holes in a perfectly good boat? I will spend the spring getting her back in shape and then tow her behind my M-15. If you notice, she's not a sailing pram, nor does she have oar locks!! So I'm guessing she was built for a motor? I'm guessing a 75 hp Merc, should get her plainning!!!! lol Skip M-15 #201 1982 'Wild Guppy' M-10 #177 1974 'Lil' Guppy' M-5.8 #28 1973 'yet to be named'
