Harvey,
I purchased my M-17 in Tempe, AZ and live in
Oregon. Hauled her home with a newer 4 cyl. Toyota truck no problem and no
surge brakes. Nice the seller will meet half way. Have a great
trip it's worth it!

I
trailered a M17 without surge brakes and do not think they are necessary
unless you are traveling in extremely mountainous areas.

I guess your boat has the mainsheet traveler set into the

Older boats, like my '79 M-17 has it attached to the
benches just behind
the companionway hatch.

Thanks for the heads up on the
trailer maintenance. I noticed that the trailer does not have surge
breaks. I am thinking of having them put on prior to the trip. Do you
know if any one has done this?
The haul is 2000 mi. fortunately the
present owner has agreed as part of the sale to bring it half way. Our plan
is to make the exchange at Lake Carlyle in IL just out side of ST
Louis.
I am planning on moving the traveler to the position you
described in your boat as I believe it is more convenient when single
handling.

We cannot direct the wind,
but we can adjust our
sails.
