Great photos. Fair Winds. -----Larry M-15 #189 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+larry.hughston=dgs.ca.gov@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+larry.hughston=dgs.ca.gov@mailman.xmission. com] On Behalf Of Gary M Hyde Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 10:31 PM To: Boats List Montgomery Subject: M_Boats: M17 'Hydeaway 2" ready to sail Just wanted to say that in my opinion Bob Eeg builds a fine boat and is a nice guy. And Alezondo (sp?) does great work and does it fast! My friend Bob Thornton and I picked up my new M17 on Nov 1, 2005 at Bob's shop in Ontario, CA. --pictures at this web address: http://homepage.mac.com/gmhyde1/PhotoAlbum8.html I would do business with Bob again with no hesitation. He helped me choose components and provided wiring design information so that I could and did do the major wiring in the boat. He provided some nice extras and was very helpful in may ways. Hydeaway 2 is pretty much ready to sail now. The woodwork is finished, wiring is all done, the stove, GPS, depth sounder, solar panel, and sail handling hardware are all installed, and I even took it sailing for the first time on the Snake River on 4 Jan 2006. Weather was nearly 50°F. If we weren't going to Tahiti next week I'd be tempted to hitch onto it and head south until I found a warm place to sail some more! Here's hoping that 2006 is very good to all of you! --Gary Hyde Pullman, WA gmhyde1@mac.com M17 #637 'Hydeaway 2' M15 #235 'Vanilla' "...There's nothing quite like messing about in boats..." _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
