Hi Sean: Thanks for asking about my book. It isn't out yet... the word from the folks at International Marine is that is should be out around April. I understand it's at the printers about now. We'll see, I guess. When it does come out, the best place to get it would be from Josh at Small Craft Advisor. I am on the lookout for an unloved M23, but for me to be able to afford it, it'd need to be REALLY unloved, then it becomes a massive rebuild project... kinda like what you had to do. Plus I'd have to sell my M17... I have a strict one-boat rule. If I ever win the lottery, I think I'll buy a nice big heated warehouse out in the country, and start an "old molds home" for out of production Hess designs (like the NorSea27) and lease shop space to other folks by the month. It's about time to pull my 17 home for some attention and rebuilds... waiting on a non-rainy day.

Brian,
I know what you mean. Keep the faith! There's a couple out there somewhere. Someone is going to keep digging and come up with one! The internet shrinks the whole world. I know that the last couple of "finds" have been boats located by searching the web.
Is you new book out yet? If so where can I get a copy and if not when is it expected?
