Hi John, Since you mentioned trailers again, I called Coastline down here and they see no problem in duplicating the trailer they built for me in the manufacture of one for you. Unfortunately they have no customers in your neck of the woods so it comes down to you hiring a shipper to pick up the trailer for you, or you could take a pleasant trip down here to pick it up yourself and enjoy some southern warm winter.

I probably won't check with them, since for me their trailers are on the wrong side of the country (I'm on west coast). Unless they are a big fabricator and have distributors out west...didn't look like it from website.
cheers, John S.

Let us know if you find out anything about Road King. I've had my eye on their RKGSK 16-18, which looks like it would be perfect for an M17. Unfortunately, their dealer network here in New England leaves much to be desired.

I can post some pics of how the Ensenada 20 step and table works but will be a couple weeks.
Trailer research...moving, but slowly...need to call your guy Bob at Coastline when I get time. The issue will be getting it from TX to OR. Talked to Pacific in SoCal and they quoted me a price almost a grand more than yours, for galvanized instead of aluminum. Inquired with EZ Loader, also much closer (Spokane, WA) and they said they haven't done sailboat trailers for years and didn't know where to point me. What else is there? EZ Loader and Pacific seem to be the two biggies out west. You said Coastline was a third biggie. Loadmaster - in Ohio... Triad, Road King - North Carolina... Custom Sailboat Trailers - also in TX... Trail-Rite is in Santa Ana, same vicinity as Pacific. I know a blacksmith here who might know some fabricators locally to hack on what I have.
To be continued...
cheers, John S.

That's what I had in mind, John, inside the cabin. I am going to think up something. My old Flicka had about 5 LF of counter when I bought it and ended up with about 12 FL once I got through building in collapseable counters, shelves , tables, etc. Haven't peeked into an Ensenada yet. By the way, how is the trailer research coming along?

Oh, on the outside you mean! Couldn't figure out what you meant.
Never seen anything like that on the few M17s I've seen in person. Is there any function to the space inside - storage or anything? Curious why anyone would put that there otherwise.
I thought you meant a step on the inside, which I've seen before...the Ensenada 20 for example has a removable step-down step inside (and a nifty flip-up table hinged on the inside of the companionway - would unfortunately be in the way of the CB winch on an M17).
cheers, John S.

Do these boats typically not have steps Tom? I have some sort of owner
made steps that are actually pretty cool, just the seal is questionable. I just assumed the original boat had the steps replaced? I' ll get a pic in a few minutes...heading out to wire up meter.

Sounds interesting. A step that can double as a table after the hatch
