I've heard that when boats aren't sailed enough the embossed numbers slowly change to the previous number. The scientific name for this phenomenon is changavitus and has been recorded occasionally throughout history. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Dvorscak Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2018 1:21 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Styrofoam below The mysterious duplicate ID # has surfaced! I believe it has been reported in the past but maybe now we have confirmation. Or maybe something more mysterious happened under the Sierra snow melt?!!!?

Hi Bruce....pretty sure I am the owner of M15 365 1986. I just checked the imprinted boat ID number on the stern MMP 15365B686. Also under on the bottom side of the interior port locker lid M15 365 is written. The main displays #365 also.

Hi Folks,
I am now a M15 owner (1986 #365) and have been going about cleaning, replacing, etc. There are double-fist-sized chunks of styrofoam crammed in the forward hatch and some larger pieces aft under the cockpit. Are these part of the normal floatation for this craft? They are a bit odorous so I would either replace or remove. Thanks for any helpful info for either solution on this topic.
