Hello All, Somewhere in the literature on the net I have seen illustrated instructions on how to raise a Monty 15 off its trailer and remove the trailer while lowering the boat onto supports so work can be done on the bottom/keel. To date my search has failed to locate any information of use.Do any of my fellow M-15 owners have any advice? Thanks. RTH.
Lots of ways to do it- you can lift it with a 3-legged bridal off the main chainplates and one of the stern cleats, or from the bowpiece and the stern cleats. This is assuming it's one of the boats I made (MMP on the transom). jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Hall" <bert.hall@rogers.com> To: "Montgomery Owners" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 2:44 PM Subject: M_Boats: Lifting the M-15 Hello All, Somewhere in the literature on the net I have seen illustrated instructions on how to raise a Monty 15 off its trailer and remove the trailer while lowering the boat onto supports so work can be done on the bottom/keel.

Bert, Me too, I want to get my M-15 lifted enough to drop the center board for visual inspection. The local boatyard has a sling hoist, I asked for a estimate, and the operator chuckled and said for a boat the size of mine it wouldn't cost much. I will post the cost, and we'll see if it is a laughable amount after I get it done.
