I am one of the super lucky ones to recieve my M-17. I have to say, Bob did a great job of filling my order and getting Sea Frog (the one Bob describes as the pirate boat) safely here to Beaufort NC. I have been spending the last few days gettting the bottom prepared for living in salt water. So I've taped her off, sanded off the sheen on the gel coat, put on a couple of coats of epoxy barrier paint and the first of two coats of antifouling. And I can't wait to get her in the water for her first swim. Everything is exactly what I had hoped for. I would suggest for anyone having a Monty shipped on a flat bed truck to check into having your boat shrink wrapped. My boat was absolutely filthy with road grime, soot, oily exhaust, old tires and I think I found some traces of armadillo parts. Must have been when it went through Arkansas. I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to create a site for anyone interested in seeing the process from out of the mold to splash down. Fair winds.

Hello...
We just shipped 4 boats east. One M_15 to Houston, Texas and one lowboy via Salter Marine (based in North Carolina) with another (ivory and green) M_ 15 to South Carolina, an Ivory and blue M_17 to Kentucky and another Ivory and a green Pirate Ship, bronze ports, tan bark sails....hehehe..to North Carolina. A 3 boat load.
Another Ivory/Red M_17 is going to Virginia shortly. (boat 5)
2 of these boats have the new Idasailor folding rudder.
Usually our West Coast customers drive to the factory.
More east and west coast boats are almost ready.
