I hope to retire in the next year, or so, and want to get a nice, safe trailerable boat that is small enough to rig & launch myself to use mostly on reservoirs in MS, AR, AL, OK, TN, Ga........ but, also, from time to time, be able to take to the MS/AL Gulf Coast & overnight on Ship Island, Horn Island, Dolphin Island, etc... I have spent considerable time researching trailerable boats and keep coming back to an M-17. Plus Bob Eeg has sent me some info on options that he has available on the M-17 that look very good. So now, I think it is time to go see one & talk with somebody that has spent some time on one. I live in Greenwood, MS (about 100 miles due South of Memphis, TN).....& I'm ready to spend a couple of days traveling now if that is what it takes to see one ........ I would appreciate very much anybody, who has an M-17, that would not mind spending a little time showing me their boat, in the not too distant future, either e-mailing me (david.pittman@thompsonpower.com) or calling me (662-299-5623).
