M-15? Hello all, from what I hear from everyone, it seems like the M-17 is a bit too hard to single handedly rig and launch in a short time: I understand I should expect 45 minutes to rig/derig, and need two people. I would have liked to be on the water in 20-30 minutes, alone. Is the M-15 better in this respect? And, perhaps more importantly, how can one find a good condition M-15 in the midwest? (I am in Wisconsin, but I am willing to travel within 250 miles of here.) Thanks, Andrei. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
