John and Joy, I have slept two on my Montgomery 15 several times and it is reasonably comfortable. There is a couple from Norfolk, Va who occasionally cruise with us and he is 6' 2" and about 180 lbs and his wife is about a little smaller than Joy. They cloths pin some sheets around the cockpit to increase the privacy and it works well for them. I have cruised the M15 for 10 days in the Fl Keys without stopping at a Marina and I was definitely ready for a break. For long cruises with 2 the M17 would be more comfortable I think but if you think of the M15 as back packing on a boat it meets your expectations well. Due to the small open nature of the boat I only stop at marinas long enough to shower, restock and stretch my legs as there is much more privacy and better scenery on the hook. I live in Va and on my long trailer trips to Fl, ME, MA and Canada I always overnight at a Wall-mart or a camp ground and it works quite well. It is a bit of a hassel dragging the boom and rudder out of the cabin and knocking your head on the mast but it's ok. The next time I may take a tent along and use a campground. New Bern actually sounds pretty nice and the is a possiblity that I may move there in the next two years as well. If you haven't found an M15 to look at by mid May you may want to go to the start of the Florida 150 - http://www.texas200.com/florida120.htm as I think there may be one or two there.

We received many responses which were very helpful. Since then, we have decided to research the M15. Since we are currently located in northeastern Alabama, it's a long way to California to visit with Bog Eeg and view one of his boats. To this end, if there are any M15 owners' in our area, or within 100 miles of us, we'd love to see your boat. We'd also appreciate any comments/advice concerning the M15. We are retiring this year at 62, and hopefully relocating to either Summerville SC or New Bern NC this summer. I'm 6'1" 230 lbs, my wife is 5'4" 135 lbs. We plan to cruise as much as possible along the ICW for as many days as possible(not more than 3 nights on the hook) before seeking a marina to refresh, and then off we go. We also plan to trailer to other locations to do the same. We feel we can use the boat like a camper and sleep in it at campsites as we travel across country(why not?). Early thanks for any responses...sincerely, John and Joy _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats Remember, there is no privacy on the Internet!
