Bob, I am the proud 'new' owner of an 1981 M-15 with the fixed motor mount and no boarding ladder. I would very much like to upgrade my Monty with the adjustable motor mount and folding ladder you mention here. Could you advise me, re cost of these components and any installation concerns/procedures I should be aware of? Thank you! —Steve on Whidbey (Langley, WA) On Jun 11, 2008, at 5:17 AM, Bob From California wrote:
Hi Fran...
I know the owner and he does have a tremendous amount of gear on his boat. Probably a big expense was the stainless/sunbrella bimini and I heard he had some custom sail covers made as well. We did set the boat up for singlehanding and he also has a CDI furler on the headstay. The boat is loaded and well cared for.
Our current M_15s and M_17s come Standard with the stainless adjustable motor mount, stainless folding boarding (swim) ladder, Bow pulpit, etc.
With a new motor and a boat full of gear he probably feels his M_15 is a good buy. More than likely he will sell it in the 14K range. You never know. His name is Jim and If I remember correctly he has a house on the beach with his boat out front.
If anyone wants to see the boat, go to my website photo pages. (14 pages) His boat is on page 5 of 14. His boat is named ROVER and you can see it on the back of a truck with him standing next to the boat.
I hope all is well with you Fran.!
