silicone
by Dick Straubel 22 May '08

22 May '08

I have often heard that using silicone to bed deck hardware and ports on fiberglass boats is not a good thing to do. Recently on this site Bob Eeg also made that point. What is the thinking behind that? I know several people who have worked in boat building factories (Compac, Hunter, and Irwin to name just three) who recommend and use silicone for bedding hardware on their own boats. Beckson Ports specifies silicone for bedding their ports. Confused -- looking forward to reading thoughts on this. M-17 Atta Baby

If you make your life repairing boats - you would require a license to buy and use silicone sealant on boats. Terrible ramifications for additional work down the road. Use any of the other sealants recommended here on the thread. Watch that 5200 - try 4200 instead. My $.02 And worth every bit.

Re: M_Boats: what to look for in a used Mboat

Hello David and Bill, Great list, all good things to look at, but here is another fact. Montgomery boats are being discovered and there will be fewer on the used market. Back in the mid-90's when I decided the M17 was the craft for me, I looked for two years before I found the one that fit my level of desirable condition and price. I seem to recall I viewed 5 total, that is all I could find in the midwest.(Sailboats Inc. was a dealer of Montgomery in the 70's and 80's) Three were in very poor condition, one was showroom with alot of gear (and the price reflected it), and the 1976 model I purchased was a bit above average yet still required work. I would imagine there are more M-boats to choose from on the west coast. A client of mine had been searching for a M15 all summer and ended up driving to Michigan to purchase. Hooper's yachts tell me any M-boat they get to broker sells quickly and to people out of state. It is fun to shop, but an anxious sailor doesn't wish to get too frustrated!

New Brochures
by Bill Lamica 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi All, Thanks to John R. Butler (M-15 Rejoyce!) we have examples of brochures from long ago: Matthews Sailer, first launched in 1934 http://www.msogphotosite.com/MSOG/pdfpage/matthews.pdf Designs by John Hanna. The brochure was printed in 1971. The boats from 16' to 106' were designed before He died in 1948. Gaff rigged, ketch, schooners, etc. 35MB of a great old catalog of boat designs from the past. (Big file... best to D/L with a high speed connection) The download time is worth it. Nice old brochure. http://www.msogphotosite.com/MSOG/pdfpage/hanna.pdf Enjoy! Bill Photo Site

Re: M_Boats: '79 model
by brian gilbert 22 May '08

Hi Bill: I've got a '79. What can I tell you? It's a great boat. $7k seems a hair on the steep side, unless it's in really great shape and includes newer sails and motor. I paid $4100 for mine a few years ago, but it needed a little work and came without a motor. That was four years ago.
