Well, I could have raised the tongue back up had I pushed the boat in bow first rather than stern first. Oriented like it is, when the door is up it only clears the pulpit by six or eight inches. If I'd spun it around and pushed it in bow first, I'd have plenty of room to raise it and swivel the jack into place. I'm going to lift the boat off its trailer in the next few weeks to do the bottom. I'm presently reinforcing four of the building's central joists in preparation for that project. I may swap ends prior to picking it up if I decide it makes sense to do so. Regardless, the pulpit's coming off to buy more clearance and get the boat further off the ground. t Tom Smith & Jane Van Winkle Sandpoint, Idaho M15-345, Chukar M17-064, Unnamed -----Original Message----- From: Larry Yake [mailto:leyake@juno.com] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 6:33 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: M_Boats: M17 through a 7ft. opening Pretty clever, Tom. Could you then raise the tongue after you got it in? On Mon, 15 Dec 2003 11:40:48 -0800 "Smith, Tom" <Tom.Smith@itron.com> writes:
I solved this very problem Larry. I think the building I now refer to as the boat shed has a standard opening. To get the M17 in I simply lowered the tongue of the trailer to the ground and slid the whole works backwards into the building. Admitedly it was close--the pulpit cleared by a couple of inches. I was prepared to let air out of the tires, but that tactic didn't turn out to be necessary... t

Gary, I don't know if all M17's are the same, but my '76 has a 21'4" mast, 21'10" with fittings and masthead light. If your garage door is a standard 7', it won't fit in unless you remove the bow pulpit and tabernacle. Larry

Wayne: I'm interested in those M17 line drawings. I need to know how high
the boat is on the trailer to know if it will fit through my garage door
and how long the mast is. Thanks. --Gary Hyde M15 #235 'Vanilla' N24 'Sailabration'
