Doug, It was the M15 in the dry slip at the WSM that first got me interested in Montgomery boats, which I hadn't previously heard of. I was checking out the boats there in early July, and the M15 caught my eye as the neatest boat around, so I began checking out M-boats on the internet, and the rest is history. My boat (Now Berly B, soon to be Lynne L), is in slip DG15, pretty much right across from where the M15 was in July. I kept it in the water at Washington Marina on Maine Ave for three months while my name worked its way up the wait list for a dry slip at WSM. Took half a day to scrub off the accumulated crud, even starting with several coats of sacrificial bottom paint! Now I know how easy it is to sail from the trailer, I think it's going to stay dry from now on. I received a good description of a reefing system from Gary Oberbeck, which sounds just like what I am looking for. Sure like to check out the M15 system too. The more ideas, the better. Thanks for the information and suggestion, Rick ************************************** Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
