Sean, I am in Virginia sailing out of Chesapeake Beach MD and in a few weeks out of Bahia Honda in the FLA Keys (I am picking up a CD10 for FLA). Thanks for the invite though. And all the best on your work on Dauntless. I do enjoy watching your progress.

Robin,
Sounds like you've been busy! Good for you (and your Monty). Glad the stuff I posted was of some help. I'd like to take full credit for knowing how to do all that stuff, but like you, I have been assisted by so many folks on here I can't even begin to count them. I think the best thing we can do is just pass along any hints, tips, whatever just like they were passed on to us. That's what is so really cool about being assosciated with a group like the MSOG. That, and also the fact that you are bound to make some new sailing buds! The Anacapa trip that we made a couple of weeks ago brought 3 Monty owners together that had never met before and probably never would've. when used correctly the internet sure is an awesome thing!
If you took any pics of your repair be sure to post them or send them to Bill from the photo site. That way they'll be there to help the next 15 owner that needs to do a similar repair.
I don't have the answer for you on your trailer set-up except to say that you want a fair amount of the weight on the keel rollers, I believe it's supposed to be 80% on the keel rollers and 20% on the bunks but I'm not sure. The great thing is it will only be a couple of days before someone who does know will read your post and have the answer.
Oh yeah, where are you located?? I hope that if your somewhere in the Southwest (CA, AZ) you'll hook up with us on our next get together. Norms already planning on heading to Catalina!
Keep up the good work!!
