Steve, I seem to have misplaced your images of the platform and the kit images too. Could you send those to me or tell me where on the Montgomery site I can find them? My email is: <larry.hughston@dgs.ca.gov> Thanks Steve. ----Larry M-15 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+larry.hughston=dgs.ca.gov@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+larry.hughston=dgs.ca.gov@mailman.xmission. com] On Behalf Of Steve Shenkel Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 11:32 AM To: 'For and about Montgomery Sailboats' Subject: RE: M_Boats: M17 Info request (folding boarding platform) Larry, Do you have an e-mail where I can send some additional pictures off line?

More detailed photos would be great. How did you beef up your transom on the inside? Great idea. ----Larry #189 M-15 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+larry.hughston=dgs.ca.gov@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+larry.hughston=dgs.ca.gov@mailman.xmiss ion. com] On Behalf Of Steve Shenkel Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 4:07 AM To: 'Wayne Yeargain'; 'For and about Montgomery Sailboats' Subject: RE: M_Boats: M17 Info request (folding boarding platform) The folding boarding platform consists of two major purchased components; the teak platform (approximately $60 and the folding 2 step ladder, approximately $100). The mounting brackets, hinge, adjustable cables, and backing plates were easily fabricated parts.

Mine is a similar old M17 #204. The ladder/platform seemed a particularly neat idea, can you tell me where you got it and how much.

Thanks to all who replied. I had some medical down time and was gathering some information for some upcoming projects. The down time has also given me the opportunity to get my web site up and running: Steve's Sailing Pages <http://members.cox.net/slsail> . Several of the pictures are some that Bill was kind enough to post on the MSOG site. Additionally, I have other pictures of former boats and the condition of M17 #263 when I first looked at it.
