Speaking of stern pulpits for M15s, I called Bob E. this morning. He indicates a pulpit for a M15 would be "around $200"; however, he also indicated it would not be practical to install since there was no room. I assume he meant to get to the underside to secure the mount. I asked about cutting a hole and he said I'd have to cut 4. His tone indicated it wouldn't be worth the effort. Has anyone installed one?

Don: The stern pulpit/bimini I put on Vanilla is a compromise on access to the boarding ladder and to fueling the outboard. I'm small (5'6"), so it isn't too much of a problem for me.

Gary You're right. I did add the jib downhaul after having a problem holding the jib down in strong winds. There are many times I wish I had had Bob install the stern pulpit. Its also a great place to mount your antennas, flag pole, etc but I had concerns with it getting in the way of fueling the Honda and going over the stern ladder.
