Hi Mike I use a 7/8 stainless tube with a flange on each end. The Newest 17s have no compression post. I have some tubes if you need one. Bob Montgomery boats. (949) 489-8227

Bob, What are you using in place of the compression post? Is your new solution something that can be retrofitted to a 2002 M17??

It has always been a vague back brain plan for me to somehow remove that comp post and fab a 'deckhead' arch/brace or a deckbeam of some kind. I saw a 20 foot Beneteau that has something like this.... Tim of the North
I agree. Fabricating something using a cold molded approach is doable, but if Bob has a pattern to use, that would be a great start. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Diebert To: 'For and about Montgomery Sailboats' Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2012 10:02 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: M17 Compression Post

I'd like to paint the interior of my M17. I don't want to get too glossy. Any suggestions what is the best thing to use??? Thanks, Joe SeaFrog M17
Hello All: thanks for responses. The reason for my inquiry is that I have a 31 year old Monty 15 that has a masthead rig, which was set-up by the original owner (without a compression post) and I have always like it. I have not used my boat in years but am restoring it and setting it up (the way I should have done years ago). I am not going to change the rig to the three point rig on a typical M15 so Jerry Montgomery suggested that I add a post. So now I am at the point in my boat restoration that I need to add this post and noticed that some M17s have a SS compression post that did not appear to have a very large diameter. My plan, now that I have received responses from my group question, is to get a compression post from Bob Eeg and modify it to fit in my M15. I really appreciate this group because when asked you always have good suggestions to help those of us that are in need of advice, etc. I hope to see you guys out at Havasu at the HPCC next February. PS: I have no idea if there is any kind of mechanical/sailing advantage to having a masthead rig versus the 3 point fractional rig on a M15. Just know that I like it.

Wooden handrailing section? Porch railing spindle? Wood would be "warmer" than metal... Tod

When I used to buy mast extrusions 100 lbs at a time I'd always get two or three twisted ones, and I'd chop them up anmd use them for mast posts. I 'd agree with Eldor- go to Home Depot and get a hardwood 2X2. Varnish it up and it'll be good to go. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: <eisenee@aol.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2012 3:39 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: M17 Compression Post The old McGregors had a mahogany 2x2 comp post , my 1992 Monty has a mast extrusion.
