Chris, you are right about the Hull number, month and year of manyfacture. The MMP is for Montgomery Marine Products and the 15 is the length of the boat. Whitebeard M17 #14, Griselda

Hello all, Happy may day!
Spring is upon us here in Minnesota and I've begun boat work. In this endeavor, I finally managed to find my stamped ID - right there on the upper right corner of the transom, where everyone kept telling me to look!
Now for deciphering: MMP 15 247 0383
Spaces were added as it makes the most sense to be read like that. Am I correct? I have #247 built in March 1983? And I assume it's Montgomery, but what about the other M and P?
Exciting! (well, for me...) :)

Hi Tony, Yes I did get a sail cover and it fits perfectly. It came with a tiller cover as well. I've just spent the last hour going through old emails and digging around for the paper work. It must be on the boat. I'll check tomorrow and get back to you. I think it was either Lee Sails or an Ebay company named comboat. I'm drawing a blank.

Joe....Have you had a sail cover made for Seafrog yet? If you have one I
was wondering what measurements you used to have it made. I just wanted to make sure I am getting the right measurements for a good fit...T

I used Micron Extra. I keep Seafrog in saltwater 10 months straight per year. I pull her out after 5 months. Looked great. I agree with Bones. You can recoat with the same bottom paint as long as it is the same product. I like the ablative paint which flakes off during the time the boat is in the water thus shedding the nasties. I don't know if you use ablative paints in fresh water. But there are a gazillion sites out there with great advice.

Hi John,
I have Micron CSC on the M17, and Awlgrip All-star on the M23.
Both seem to be fabulous, although far from inexpensive.
Both boats are trailered and sailed in fresh water.
I have been led to believe that unless you remove all the previous bottom paint, recoating should be done with the same product.
For what it is worth.
Later,
Bones
