HI Jeff, Welcome aboard! There is lots of fine info in the Monty site. Howard, the narrow side decks on the M23 encourage one to watch their footing. I have no lifelines or stantions, thus freeing up area to step. For deck work, as with the M17, I will simply step up to the coach roof and walk forward. I don't consider the side decks to be a problem for me and my size 13's. Jeff, good luck in a hunt for an M23, all good things come to those who wait. I remember there were 2 for sale here in the midwest in the late 90's, no one seemed interested. It took me 2 years to find my M17, and my M23 never did hit the marketplace. Later, Bones
Thanks Bones! I'm enjoying the site very much and appreciate your encourgaging words in looking for an M-23. I have long admired Lyle Hess designs and believe the 23 to be the one for me (and my wife's) needs.
