I will be picking up one in Fairhope, AL in 3 weeks that I'll be bringing back to TX and putting at our Lake house at Lake Livingston. You are more than welcome to come check it our and even sail it with me if you like. Let me know.
I'm excited about getting my hands on her. She's a 77 model, but had a brand new paint job. She had been taken in on a trade by a boat delear over there who also has a full service yard, so he had his crew work on her. -----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Feb 20, 2008 10:30 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: montgomery_boats Digest, Vol 60, Issue 16 > >Send montgomery_boats mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > >To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats >or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >You can reach the person managing the list at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >than "Re: Contents of montgomery_boats digest..." > > >Today's Topics: > > 1.
