Since it's raining and I can't go sailing :-(, I've been crawling around m15 #385 in the garage, looking things over, and found that the storage compartment under the V berth is screwed down and filled to the brim with blocks of Styrofoam.
I understand that this is meant to give buoyancy in an emergency, but...I would like to use that space and I'm thinking of getting rid of the foam in favor of putting something heavy up there, like a few gallons of water and maybe a spare anchor. Seems to me that anything I can do to counteract my 200 lbs plus outboard plus other gear aft will keep her on her lines better and improve sailing qualities. I was wondering what other M15 owners have done with this space? Is dumping the foam a good idea or am I going to be all wet? Thanks, George M15 #385 (still unnamed) _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
