Kendall: i believe this is a owner option. don't know if this was done by jerry in '84 or by a prior owner. yes LOTS of space, thought i always worry about putting to much all in the stern. i'll be sharing photos shortly (need to visit the boat in winter storage today). dave scobie M15#288, not yet named kdocter@bellsouth.net wrote: Dave, I was sitting in the cabin just daydreaming about how to utilize the space better and one of the ideas that I thought of was to take the cockpit lockers out and that would open up a great deal of space as well as give me access all the way aft. Is that what happened to the later models? The design changed? Can you send some pictures please. kdocter@bellsouth.net Kendall in NW Louisiana M-15 #164 --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
