Well here it is... the 4th and I'm more excited now than I used to get at Christmas as a kid. Maybe because at 62 I'm still a kid. So what's all the excitement and fuss?? Well, in a very short while I will be splashing the latest M-17 out of Bob's boat shop. She will be called Sea Frog. My prior boat was a NS 27 named Sea Gray. Due to the area I live in with its shallow waters and 2-3 foot tides, I needed a gunkholer; a shallow drafter; a boat that I can decide when to take out and not the other way around. So Sea Frog seemed to fit.... hopping around from one outer bank island to another. After she is finished I will put together a collage showing her construction from day one. As I'm sure some of you have never seen this process take place. I live on Bogue Banks near Beaufort NC. So if there are any Montys in this neck of the woods, let me know and hopefully we can have a raft up someday. Have a great 4th!! Joe
ps Working with Bob has been easier than falling off a barstool. jm _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
