Funny, my mast gained a crinkled crook about the same distance from the tabernacle a few years ago!! I bought the Dyer mast, notwithstanding the distance from Connecticut to Kansas, it all worked perfectly, no Mods required. The masthead fit with the section is important, there is a lot going on up there, and you don't want something (else) to go awry. ---Thomas Howe O --------(\ ---------- ~ (\ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (\ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Date: Sun, 04 Sep 2011 19:58:38 -0500 From: "Jim hymes" <jameshymes@verizon.net> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Subject: M_Boats: M17 needs new mast Message-ID: <E8030E68FEB5492F83694F2F5185E45F@JimmyPC> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hey! Won?t go into the particulars but I got a crinkled crook in my M17 mast about the distance from the tabernacle to the pulpit. Anyways, I?m in Texas in need of a new mast...I?ve visited dwyer.com where they show different shaped and sized tubes. Anyone know of someplace nearer to Texas than Connecticut? Also, depending on the manufacturer, I assume there will be different shapes, dimensions of tubing. What manufacturers can come up with the closest shape/ dimensions tube? And does the shape need to match perfectly with the masthead from the crooked mast? Thanks, jim
