Bob, Thanks for clearing that misconception up. We do appreciate the pictures. Looking forward to the visit. If all goes well, we would plan to order a boat for early spring finish and probably drive out from Texas to pick it up. When we head for Maine in early summer, we would trailer it up ourselves. The plan is to find a great little pocket cruiser that we can really fix up in a "finest kind" of yacht fashion, and of course, the M 17 seems to be a great start. I envision this boat to be a "head turner" in Southwest Harbor. After owning Hinckleys, Morris's, Sabres, Grand Banks, and a Bristol Channel Cutter which Sam highly customized for us, pride of ownership is a big thing with us. At the same time, we know that it is not the money that you spend but the quality and pride that you lavish on the boat that makes it special. That is what is so appealing about the M 17. The purchase is always just the beginning. Have a great week. Skip
