I am just about to order my new M-15 from Montgomery Boats. I spent the last year researching and I think the M-15 is the best bet for my needs. I am really excited. I moved here to Stuart Florida, after living in Pennsylania and have been wanting to get out on the water so badly. I live less than 2 miles to a boat access onto the Intercoastal Waterway, Indian River, St. Lucie River and coastal access. I have 2 sons aged 10 and 13 who are going to be very excited, as well. I am planning on taking sailing lessons. I am writing because I am a newbie and will probably post alot in the beginning. Thank you all for advance. Question: When the boat is on its trailer...how many feet long is it, total? Thanks -- Vincent G. Gallagher, M.A. St. Thomas University School of Law Class of 2009
