Although I liked the lift-out hatch, I heard it's ability to take flight was a big reason Jerry went to the captured hatch on the new deck mold. Old M17 owners, beware!. t
Tom Smith & Jane Van Winkle M17 #496 -- dharma bum -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Wirth Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 2:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: M_Boats: Cockpit Hatch Cover Replacement So I have had my 1974 M-17, Fore Play, for 5 years now and never knew that the sliding cockpit hatch could fly away! The one time I did not lock the hatch before trailering, it lifted off and disappeared somewhere up Logan Canyon. I spent 6 hours driving back up and down the canyon without luck. I am just very grateful that it did not hit some poor soul. So, be aware, it could happen to you! In the meantime, Jerry, is it possible to order a new one or will I have to try to build one?! All the Best, randy [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
