thanks david

first of all what is the difference between a m30-302 and a m30 o/i. my boat was damaged by a fire in the forward berth i have since repaired the damage but i don't know what the inside looked like especially the main salon area. how did they finish the joint between the hull and deck? i am hauling out in a few days and plan to spend a while making the inside nice any ideas on where to find pictures of the inside of one of these boats? thankyou for your interest by the way where is bedford i lived for a while in norfolk

The first boat I ever sailed was a Morgan 302. My brother owned it. Great boat, we used to blow away a lot of bigger boats. She went upwind like an an animal. The previous owner had used her for racing so we had alot of big sails on board. I have seen a couple of others like her up here in Puget Sound and I am told that "Primo" is still around. Really miss that boat- she was the reason I bought my Catalina 30 and spent 5 yrs as a livaboard. What year is yours? Don"Descente"
