Except for the $200 an hour. I don't know about CA, but here in Michigan, the prices come down when they like you :-) I've already got the beard! I was in contact with the folks at the M boatyard on Friday, they say the last 2004 M15 comes off the line this week, and the 2005's start on Auggy one. I had asked about next spring, and if I could pick her up at the boatyard, so as to save the delivery fee. "Sure come on down". I've never driven to CA, and for 1,200 bucks, I could be convinced. If you've got the time, how could you resist? Anyway, they are starting to use a dealer network as soon as they can establish it (a dealer in Lansing too, GLSC, I think). Of course, the prices will go up, but so will service opportunities. Convincing my wife that buying two boats in one year is another matter; she's only sailed a few time in her years; but maybe.... The paint started going on my wee yawl this week. Paint can hide a multitude of sins, and she's starting to look pretty good (the boat, wife is pretty all the time!). Take care, Dave
