Could a 15 owner in the Sacramento area communicate with me so that I can take a look at a boat? I haven't been in a 15 for about 4 years and have been in a number of different boats since them and I just don't have a good vision of the proportions.
I live in Orangevale but travel to W Sac most days.

It droops down--by design apparently because no mods have been made to either the tiller or the cheek plates or the location of the pin the tiller lands on in the working position. I agree that ideally the end of the tiller should clear one's legs, and that the stick itself should run parallel with the seats. I like the idea that the length be added to butt or cheek plate end, and that the stick comes unfinished so we can trim it off to suit our personal requirements. For the record, I don't like the idea of an extension. Too complicated and there's potentially a weak point at the joint. But that's just me. Also for the record, I've never thought you were a bad asshole. t Tom Smith & Jane VanWinkle M15/345--Chukar M17/064--Unamed _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
