Norm, did you pick up, or was it delivered? And, if it was delivered, would you mind telling me the cost to ship to wherever you are (direct e-mail (tynerjr@gmpexpress.net) if you prefer)? I'd like a new trailer, or a complete overhaul of mine, but I'm on the Chesapeake. -- John Tyner M-15 "Chimpanzee" -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+tynerjr=gmpexpress.net@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+tynerjr=gmpexpress.net@mailman.xmission .com]On Behalf Of Norm Lane Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 3:40 PM To: M-boats Subject: M_Boats: New M-15 trailer from Pacific I just got a new trailer for my M-15. I called Montgomery and they said to call Pacific directly and say that they had referred me. http://www.pacifictrailers.com/ The price turned out to be $1377 rather than the $1200 quoted on the Montgomery website. On the other hand, it has an extendable tongue, which isn't mentioned on the website. Here are some pics. http://share.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=EeAMWblu3atm7mY Most of the trailer is bolted together. I was taken aback at first but they're all nylock nuts so it's probably ok. At least I'll be able to adjust the bunks. They mounted the winch upside down! It would work if there was an eyebolt on the stem of the boat, but there isn't. Those nuts really hold and I have to find a longer wrench to move it. The 'keel guide' is useless. It's not high enough to work. I ended up with the boat sitting across the top of it and had to horse it around to get it to nest into the guide. I'll add the PVC guides described on the MOSG website. Oh, that extendable tongue will slide all the way out if you aren't carefull. I was parked on a slight incline without realizing it and ended up chasing the boat across the parking lot. No harm done, other than to my dignity, but it could have been a disaster.
