Hi Glen, I'll try not to to rain on your parade, while shedding light...
First, allow me to say, you've done an excellent write up. I cannot wait for you to get your new M15 (if Bob Eeg ever contacts you - more on that later) I'll do a great job of incorporating your thoughts on boat decisions and buying and if you can take some great photos at least 1024 X 768 or larger I'll use up a page or two for your new M15. About Montgomery Boats: In defense of Bob Eeg, owner, I'll give you this unsolicited opinion (and I've never actually met him) 1. He's busy doing production, production management, sales, ordering, Internet work and a bunch of other things. 2. Bob is better suited to making certain the boats he delivers are top shelf, than to "waste" his time trying to learn how to use the Internet to his advantage (after all, he is constantly back ordered at least five boats. 3. Bob's web site lacks quite alot. Bob and possibly I will eventually do something about that. Probably this winter. He's busy building boats at the moment. I do plan on selling him my webmaster services... I hope. 4. Our Email forum is handled at no cost by Keith Diehl (one of the people on the list) sometimes the E-mail program deletes it's users (happened to me) and I would guess Bob Eeg hasn't even read your post and likely will not. With all of that being said; Truly, Bob and crew are busy building the best little cruisers available. If you really want one the only way to get one is call him. I will add the phone number at the bottom of this note. About the M15: I used to have an M17, great craft. certainly sails better than I do. I've sailed a couple M15 and have but one boat to compare it to; the Potter P15. The Potter can slide up on a beach and that is the only advantage I can see. The rest of the qualities concerning sail-ability, quality, resale, etc... are owned by the M15. If you would like to know more about the M15, it would be good to visit two sites, that you may have already found: www.MSOG.org <http://www.msog.org/> and my site www.MSOGPhotoSite.com<http://www.msogphotosite.com/> If you've got specific questions, please do not hesitate to E-mail me "off list" and I'll do all I can to answer your questions. And, if you are a buyer, give Bob a call at ** *(949) 489-8227* That number is his cell phone. I know he will gladly answer all or any Montgomery questions. Nice blog site. Congratulations on a well thought out decision on the M15.
