Re: M_Boats: New Old M-17

[Bill Sylvester]

	I had a diver clean the bottom and he really worked at freeing up the 
centerboard.  He said it was rusted in solid for about three inches 
into the trunk.  He was able to clean most of the rust out and told me 
he could move it a bit side to side.
	She came up on the trailer with no complaints.  You Montgomerians were 
right.

Thanks

Finally have "Endelig" (M-17 #279) in my driveway.  The restoration
has started.  My first task after cleaning all of the "stuff" out of
the boat was to clean the cushions of the Master Suite.  I noticed that
the walls of the sleeping area are separated from the hull.  Reaching
under the bed, I found the wall sealed from underneath.  What is in
there? Floatation, air, treasure?
How much space is there between the inner wall and the hull?
I have a lot to learn and a lot of curiosity about my new old boat.

Thanks,

Bill
