Dennis, I am in the process of sanding very slowly all of the teak. It looks like it will look good. The bigger challenge will be to make perfect hull repairs to the gel coat. When was the last time you operated the Center Board? I really want to get the boat elevated to not only rehab the trailer but to actually operate and inspect the center board. Good Luck Dennis......and I still glad I got this Montgomery 15. I plan on taking it to a local boating outfit and have a trained eye give some opinion on the small stuff like repairing cracks and sandblasting the trailer and coating it with anti rust materials. All for now. --------- Larry Hughston Ps. DMV did not even look at either the boat or trailer for registration!!! Why, one would think that all they really wanted was my money....what an outlandish thought!!! WestMarine, Inc. has started taking my money !! -----Original Message----- From: Dennis W.

You might be able to arrange with the yard, or even privately with the driver, to stop by long enough for you to use their forklift long enough to put your boat on blocks or barrells. -- dwf At 7/7/2004 15:07, you wrote:

Rent a forklift to place the boat on some blocks. They deliver. Simple and safe.
