How long are you planning on living, Steve? If your boat is built anything like the Seaweeble you could be waiting a while. Ian

This is an interesting use of an old boat. Maybe when my M-boat gets to retirement age, block it on the ground and use the cabin? Steve M-15 # 335

The owner of a 'large sailboat manufacturing company' once told me in response to similar comment - '...once they are built/bought/paid for

it doesn't really matter to me if they end up in a dumpster - they are objects not people'
different strokes for diff folks.
Have Fun Go Sailing!

Linda, I can not imagine a Montgomery boat converted into an outboard power boat. What happens to old boats? Set them out to sea to float away and die? I think I had a good solution for the old aluminum boat when I donated it to my boy scout camp. But the boy scout camp could use it. What does one do with an old boat that is beyond use? Steve

Amazing what Montgomery owners will do rather than let a good boat die!

Linda, Can you imagine this? I imagine it would be disgusting. Woodenboat Festival at Percival Landing today, I will of course, go look. Steve

Sean,
You are to be commended for giving hull #44 a new life. Kudos for taking on such an involved project. Some other "boater" could have well chopped the keel off, plugged it, and mounted a 150hp outboard on the transom! (Jerry has a story about such an occurrence).
You're as sick as I am, an M23 and an M17.
