If after a while no one claims it I guess you can be yours. Just an opinion I don't know anything bout salvage laws. Good Luck Gary **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife.

My sailboats always have powerful outboards. The sailboat that introduced me to this nutty hobby had an ancient Seagull. When it started, it was not enough. (it was a great lesson in patience) I think that it was this boat that directed me to always having a serious motor on my own boats. Being swept through tidal races on windless days trying not to hit anything or anybody via the use of a paddle and profanity may have had an effect on my malleable psyche. My 17 has a 4 stroke 6 hp Yamaha. Super reliable, lots of headroom. I can do hull speed into a 15 knot long fetch chop. As someone mentioned earlier, when it is time to go......go. Some days when the wind is favourable, I head down hill all day. Just because. If I get lucky, the wind shifts and blows me home as well. But when it doesn't, I want to be able to motor home at hull speed no matter what. I don't know about you guys, but I have also had to tow a lot of times. It is always people in big motor boats that have run out of fuel or had engine troubles. Last year I towed in a boat that must have been 30 feet long and 2 stories high. It was not fast, but it happened. I have already towed a large motor boat back to his dock this year. A brand new racey looking thing. $150,000 worth of dead weight. I like being able to help folks if I can. I never worry about weight. I love the feel of my 17 with a full belly. The weight of my motor is not an issue right now (at 52) but when it becomes an issue I will work out more. ~:0) Tim. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2008 12:27:29 -0700 From: Gary M Hyde Subject: Re: M_Boats: Hoist Launching an M-15 To: "Montgomery Sailboats Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Tom: It snowed in Pullman too on June 10 & it stuck 2" deep for half a day.

I have noticed a weird quirk...the penetration hole for the line that lowers the centerboard "burps" during sailing and shoots water intermintantly into the cabin sole. Any ideas or experience as to how to tackle this? Is this a common thing for the older boats?
