Jim. Yeah I had also communicated with him many times over the years and also was shocked by his sudden passin. That compression post is odd. Don't know if there was a problem with the house roof or just something added as not trusting the compression arch? :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: Baba 30 #233 DEJA VU :: former owner SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com On Fri, Dec 16, 2022, 20:36 Jim Ellsworth <jellsworth603@gmail.com> wrote:
Yes Dave, I became Facebook friends with Mike but never had a chance to sail with him. His sudden passing was kind of a shock to me. They sold the Kent pretty soon after he passed but have just listed the M15. The only thing strange is a compression post going from the cabin roof to the floor through a storage opening in the vberth. Maybe he added that for fun? I told the son who is selling the boat that that question may come up. Jim

Mike Hall's Jim? Guessing based on your description of situation and the Kent Ranger.

There is a one owner Monty 15 for sale in Tustin CA (Orange County CA Craigslist. The owner passed away and the son is selling the boat. I don't think the boat has been sailed for a long time. He also had a Kent Ranger 26 that he kept at Dana Point Marina. I was a Facebook friend of his but never got a chance to meet him or sail with him. Jim M17 Grace #603
