Hi Clint, Sorry about the mast. We lost one, boom and sail on a board boat one time. I'm planning on having our boat out this weekend and will take some measurements. I'll also shoot a few pics if that would help. Ours is a 1981 so don't know if the year matters. Regards, Randy W. M15 Becca Anne Texas

I've been eave-dropping on this forum for about 2 years. The boat's classic appearance and your obvious devotion to the boats caused me to go looking for one. And I found one.

Unfortunately, during my first outing with her, I made a rookie mistake and lost the mast. I've purchased the necessary Dwyer replacement mast and parts, but I don't know how to assemble them. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would measure their late model M15 mast and send me the measurements. For example, how far up from the foot of the mast does the hound bolt go? Bob Eeg was very helpful putting me in touch with Dwyer and ensuring that I got the right parts. However, he has been difficult to catch in the shop so he can look up the measurements that I need and give them to me. Consequently, I have a mast and parts, and some vacation time coming, but no idea how to assemble the mast. If you would send me the measurements for the hardware on your mast, I'd happily create a drawing to post on the MSOG site for everyone's future use. Although, I hope you never need it. Losing a mast is a sickening experience. Thanks for you help, Clint M15, "Youngblood, #261, 1983 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
