Good afternoon, I have sails, mast, boom, rudder off a Montgomery 12 for sale. I am testing the waters to see if there is any interest. If there is, I will go to my storage unit and get the details and measurements off everything. Thanks for your time.

Adding an electric Motor to Montgomery 15
by Scott 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

I have a 2 stroke motor that came with my Monty when I bought it. In good conscience, I cannot get myself to use it. I have a 12 v trolling motor that worked OK for getting it in and out of the smallish bay on Minnesota's Lake Minnetonka, but it was a little slow. Getting in and out of Carson's bay generally took me about a half hour plus each way. I am tempted to take the lower unit off the motor and bolt it to the bottom of my Monty behind the keel and mount an electric motor inside the hull. I have figured out what I need for power and duration in terms of the motor and batteries, but I am reluctant to put a hole in the bottom of the boat to mount the motor and prop. Any thoughts on how that could affect the value of the boat? Scott Larson

Connie - the Texan's call them boots 'manly footwear' - guess they worry more about other peoples perceptions of their ______ than decks and swimming in boots!- keep us notified of any scession plans they may have over that way. I enjoy a good coup as much as the next guy. Enjoy your new digs. Best to both of you. GO. In a message dated 1/20/2014 10:31:55 A.M.

by Robert Hall 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Greetings Fellow M-15 Owners.I have for sale a main and hank on jib as provided by the Montgomery builder. There are no breaks, tears or other structural damage and they recently received processing by SAILCARE and are therefore clean.The main is equipped with slugs at the luff and with a jack line to prevent lower slugs falling out of the mast slot when the sail is lowered. I also have a pale blue hank on genoa in a sail bag marked 150% which is in as new condition and finally a never used red ,white and blue asymmetrical spinnaker in a home made sock.I am over 80 and have treated myself to a new main and CDI furling 150% genoa to make life afloat easier. So now you know why these sails are surplus to requirement . The asking price is $500.00 plus shipping for all four complete with sail bags.. My e mail address is bert.hall(a)rogers.com.

Henry, I'll take two or three at that price /condition (as viewed via my monitor) ! Some of the Northern region boats are really nice - Higher lattitudes =less UV damage - shorter seasons and sometimes barn storage - cold fresh water - What's not to like?? (as a contrast - mine is out in the sun and heat (& cold) 24/7/12 at 33-36 N. in 115 degrees F heat at upper range - No Barn - and a 8-9 month sailing season ( we skip the summers locally!) Try and get that kind of money for a Clorox 23 (or other similar) - good luck - Not the BEST 17 footer but damn close and affordable too- maybe the best fat wrinkled cruising 17 footer with a masthead rig - Good Mariners, Rhodes 19 and some other 'boutique models' hold their values well too and are also 'icons' of small boats. There have been 675 +/- M-17s built That is not big numbers when you consider the number of boats out there. We can sometimes generate our own 'aura/mystique/collectibility' about something we own and like - go to a really BIG marina for a reality check on numbers or consider the number of C-22's in the US - now almost at a standstill for new production. You got a good deal looking from here. Rig looks clean. Congrats and Good Luck with the contingencies. Gary Henry Oberbeck M-17t #354 'Wabi-Sabi' * *The yellow and white M-17 across the dock from you last year at London Bridge... PS- thanks for driving recent sales price for a M-17 into the dirt! JUST KIDDING - you did great!. {;>) Good for You! Buy 'em low! You probably didn't get many comments form M-17 owners in response to your question - like - 'as little as possible' - that is the way some of us like to buy toys. I like red boats - good lookin to boot!! You can't buy my ugly old boat for that money...'mine is rare/collectible/and worth MUCH more' - ...yeah okay....{;>) Take Care,Have Fun, Go Sailing!

The Connecticut Yankee is learning to speak Texan
by Conbert Benneck 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi gang, We're back again. I have lost out on recent conversations because good old Ma Bell cut off my old DSL connection and email address when I cancelled the service in November. The reason for the cancellation was our move from Glastonbury, CT to Dallas, Texas, and the dust of the move has still not settled. I was able to sell the Shellback dinghy to an eager sailor; but nobody wanted my lovely Bolger designed NYMPH dinghy, so I donated it to a sailing group in New London, CT. Now we are almost totally boat-less, unless you count my old Boucher model schooner; or my rubber powered yellow submarine. Both have sailed in foreign waters We have lots of things we are trying to find and a number of closed cardboard boxes that might contain it. MURPHY is having a ball with us. My new email address is: chbenneck(a)gmail.com Do you need new and more up-to-date verses to the "Wrinkle Boat Song"? Happy sailing, Connie & Katrina ex M15 #400 LEPPO
