Thank you Mark, I'd overlooked that important point. I'm located in Fredonia, NY right now. I say right now because since 1999 I've been a full time RV'er. My present mobile domicile is a Roadtrek. My goal is to tow an M17 behind the Roadtrek. I've been away from sailing too long. Prior to embarking on the life of an RV gypsy I owned a Tartan 27. A wonderful boat that I still miss but I couldn't afford yard & mooring fees and do the RV thing on my shoestring economy. The Nimble, which I bought in a rash moment, is sitting in storage in northern Florida. It turned out to be much heavier than advertised. Too heavy to tow safely with my Roadtrek. I have a home base now, here in Fredonia, at a friends house. It looks like a good place to explore the Great Lakes from, with a good launch facility nearby at Dunkirk harbor. My reason for wanting a Montgomery rather than any of the many other easily trailed boats out there is the reputation for superior sailing abilty that the Montgomerys have. No point in sailing unless it's fun. Nick Cherau Montyless but looking
