Measured just under 107" from end of boom to end of goose neck. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: M_Boats: Re: M-15 boom storage Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2024 08:44:15 -0400 From: John Tyner <tynerjr@md.metrocast.net> To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone; that's how I've been trying so maybe my boom's not standard. I'll try again (and will also measure). What length should it be? 1988 model. John On 6/7/2024 12:44 AM, Rusty Knorr via montgomery_boats wrote:
Yup, it’s super tight, but by lifting the part of the boom that reaches up into the forepeak it should fit through the companionway, with millimeters to spare. www.rustyknorr.weebly.com

Oh, wise ones, I've heard the M-15's boom can be stored within the cabin, but I've never managed to get mine in there. If possible, what's the secret maneuverations required? If not possible, where and how do you secure your boom when towing for distance?
