Hi Blake, The M15 I just bought had an arrangement just as you described. I took it out because it was pretty crudy looking but I could see why the prior owner did it. It's pretty much dead space anyway. ken wheeler M15 # 128 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Blake Reimer" <blkreimer@yahoo.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, August 07, 2009 11:45 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: more market research! Hmm... I was thinking about that stern anchor business. On my M15, I was considering covering between the two seats about the last foot back to the transom. I was just going to put a little mahogany plank grate over with a small toe rail on the floor to hold a cooler for sandwiches and liquid courage. Just thinking, if it was molded into place with a lid, it might make a good anchor locker and free up the port lazzarette, where I keep it now. Just an idea. Also realizing most Monty owners probably sail primarily in lakes, maybe a taller rig is not so bad. Really good light air boats are great fun. I sail in Monterey Bay, because that's where I live, but if I had a good long lake instead, who knows, I might sail even more.
