All, I've decided to sell my M-10 #177. I have come to the realization that I have more toys then I have time to play with them. And my toy box is getting quite full. I've enjoyed the boat for the time I've owned her. She is a great little dink, easy to set up and sail. Very responsive and nimble!! When I took ownership of her, she needed some TLC. I've stripped and refinished all the woodwork. I had the sail cleaned and re-conditioned. I replaced the mast due to the PO using a homemade wooden mast. The mast is not to factory spec. It's a heavier aluminum with thicker walls. The biggest issue with this boat is the hull. The PO left her out in the sun for many years and she is showing her age. The gel coat is totally shot. This boat has severe crazing due to sun damage. Due to my skill level or lack there of...............I never attempted to spray new gel coat or paint. Please keep in mind, she is very seaworthy. And from 5 feet away, looks very salty. The hull issue is strictly cosmetic. If anyone is interested, please respond and I'll send pics. Skip
