      Yes, Jerry, by upright  I mean on the edge.  Good idea to shape the boards, I can do that.

Thank you, 
Martha

By "upright" I assume you mean on edge?  I think thjis would work great 

provided you scribe the 2X8's to fit the curvature of the hull, then carpet 

them.

Martha, I've had my M-15 on a lift off and on in the past. Though the lift
...
normally holds a 21' Caravelle walkaround, I've had no problems except
...
that caused by the rocker in the hull; too much weight aft and the bow
...
rolls up. A factor of the long, straight supports the boat rests on. Hope
...
this is of some help.

Hello Group,
...
...
...
...
I have two requests for advice and information of my fellow Montgomery
...
...
Owners;
...
...
...
...
Main Sail Cover
...
...
...
...
I inquired to an ad on the trailer-sailor website about the production of
...
...
a main sail cover for my 2001 M-15 understanding they had many makes and
...
...
models' measurements on record, and I might order one on spec.
...
...
...
...
The kind gent informed me no such records are on file for an M 15,
...
...
although he was certain such a cover had been produced  previously.  It
...
...
will be a few weeks (months?) until I get my boat out of storage and
...
...
rigged and be able to arrive at the correct measurements, and I was
...
...
hoping to get a jump on ordering a cover before our short Midwest season.
...
...
...
...
Any members had a good experience ordering a main sail cover, and
...
...
possibly kept the measurements too?  Any recommendations?  What about
...
...
prices paid for a Sunbrella/similar brand fabric mainsail cover?
...
...
...
...
Boat Lift Modifications
...
...
...
...
Sailing the M 15 on an inland shallow lake, I will have the benefit of
...
...
keeping her on a boat lift set just off shore- in about three feet of
...
...
water.  The 1000 lb capacity Cantilever lift I will utilize previously
...
...
was home to a fishing boat.  I'll need to accommodate the keel/hull of my
...
...
Monty with modifications to the current 2X4 bunks which are mounted
...
...
upright on two cross supports.  Any shallow lake sailors had experience
...
...
with modifications of this sort?  My intention is to use two "bunks" (one
...
...
port, one starboard),  replacing the 2X4's with four foot lengths of
...
...
2X8's up-righted and covered with indoor out door carpeting?  Others done
...
...
the same?
...
...
...
...
...
...
Thank you for your comments, thoughts and experience.
...
...
...
...
I appreciate this valuable and enjoyable resource.
...
...
