Larry, Don't worry, be happy!! Some of us, though I'm not saying it's the bright thing to do, have gone some serious distances to retrieve our boats, WAY more than once. :-) We have/have had 4 boats so far. The average round trip to pick them up has been 1826 miles. Considering that our recent purchase of an M-15 was an unbelievably short, 60 mile round trip, (can't believe I got that lucky) that jacks the average round trip for the other 3 up to 2417. I know it doesn't make it any easier or less expensive, but just know that there are a lot of us in the same boat. Just think about all the beautiful country you'll be able to see on your "vacation". :-) That makes the idea a bit more palatable. 'Course, being your already in Sacramento, you could probably just sneak down and get one from Bob. Rik At 10:51 AM 5/20/2004, you wrote:

The survey came out good. I was sent a written report, the cost was $300. I am stuck here in Sacramento so I thought it might be worth a shot. The only thing that was noted was a dry tire on the trailer and a few minor things that were not safety issues. The report included a visual on the motor also. -----Larry
Larry, I would jump on that one if you still can. The '91 has the lead ballast and several other improvements. The price seems quite reasonable if it is as advertised. I have a lot (whole lot) more than that into my '91.
As for being stuck in Sacramento, I had to pick mine up in Colorado. It seems to be a rite of passage into the Montgomery clan that you must drive long distances to take delivery!!
