Oh, ho, ho, Bill!!!!!!!!!!! You're off to Paradise next month. Wish I could afford the time and expense ... I've posted this before, but the Wooden Boat Foundation chandlery carries Davey and Co. bronze, iron, wood and galvanized retro hardware, some made from patterns over a century old. Also for great bronze hardware, check out Bristol Bronze, www.bristolbronze.com ... Hope you post some sweet pics from the show after you get back ... Wouldn't be surprised if you didn't find a few Hess boats there ...

Like to drive Hi Connie, The answers are No and Yes. I've considered buying Tom Smiths M-15 which reads and looks like a new boat with more equipment than I will require, and at a decent price. Just me, but I rarely buy used. If I do buy an M-15 she'll be ordered with lots of goodies. I'm off to the wooden boat show in Port Townsend, WA next month to visit the Chandlery to see what I want in the way of "salty stuff". Thanks for the offer. Here's one back to you. Take about 30 pictures of your M-15, send me a CD, and we'll put them on the Photo Site so you'll have a link to give to prospective buyers. I believe the pics of Tip on the site are what began the interest in the sale. Possibly Tom can verify that he looked at those pics a few times before he Emailed me.
