Hello, I'm brand new to this forum, I really admire Montgomerys, and I'm wondering if an M15 could be kept on a beach that dries completely at low tide? Our waterfront home on Puget Sound has a great place to dock a boat, but only one that can sit on its hull when the tide goes out, which is twice daily? It's a very calm, protected inlet with no wave action.
Would an M15 work in such a place?
Thanks for your replies! Bruce W
