Re: M_Boats: Lifting M15 by chain plates

I haven't lifted an M15 by the chainplates, but I understand it's perfectly safe (Jerry's done it). That said, I've lifted an older M17 with the toe rail with no problem at all. I'd do it, but I'd be a little nervous too. If I had my druthers, I'd use a strap. Your ordinary M15 weighs in at around 750 pounds. t On 2/19/07, Jim Sadler <jimsadler@jascopacific.com> wrote:
