Hi Tod Do you want to sell the stern pulpit ? Wayne ----- Original Message ----- From: <htmills@bright.net> To: "'For and about Montgomery Sailboats'" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 6:12 PM Subject: RE: M_Boats: stern pulpits
I removed the stern pulpit on my 17 because it was in the way. Not what you wanted to hear, but at least it is a 17 rather than a 15. :-)
I almost removed the bow pulpit but must concede that it does have some uses, not the least of which is as a place to hook a halyard while changing sails.
Was aboard both a 17 and a 23 with lifelines but found the narrowness of the side-decks meant the lifelines made it tougher going fwd. Even with wider side-decks, lifelines can pose a hinderance while docking. I just prefer good handholds and a generous toe-rail.
But, that's a personal thing. Your mileage may vary.
Tod

I have a Montgomery 15 with the stern pulpit. It is very useful as a backrest, mount fishing pole etc., possible stern light mount, and due to no lifelines makes the cockpit more secure. I have not found that the stern pulpit is a problem when operating an outboard motor. Dan
