Jim, I measured the length of the boom on my M-17, It measures 7ft-11" from end to centerline of the tack pin and 8ft-01/4" to the center of the gooseneck slide. Regards..Arnold Sharpe M-17 "LITTLE BREEZE" hull # 265. On Oct 10, 2008, at 2:38 PM, James Poulakis wrote:
Thanks Jerry. Your input is invaluable and very much appreciated.
"Spirit" is M17 #648 built in 2008 with Dwyer mast & boom extrusions. A careful measurement reveals her boom w/ end fittings to be 8'-3/4" long (aluminum extrusion without any fittings is 8'-1/4")
