Has anybody sailed on Ross Lake in the North Cascades National Park in Washington State? I have been eyeing it up for a few years and hoping to bring my Montgomery there. There is a launch ramp at the northern end of the lake in BC. Was wondering the condition of the ramp etc. Been camping at Diablo Lake which is the next lake down below the dam of Ross and is a gorgeous lake with glacial blue water.

If it isn't too late, you and your wife are welcome to come over to Duxbury and join me for a sail on my M17, which is a 1976 and mostly identical to yours. Perhaps she will change her mind if she experiences a little of the Zen of sailing first hand.

Yes, it is the same boat. I bought it last September in Stockton Springs Maine.
I haven’t used it or done anything to it other than winterizing the 2011 Tohatsu 3.5 HP, 4-stroke engine.
I’m selling it because the wife refused to go on it as we are (I am) getting into sailing from power boating.
You can see pictures of it at Sailinglistings.com and at Craigslist Southcoast MA. I plan on taking more pictures this weekend to post soon.

Montgomery 17s are scarce as hen's teeth here in New England and this looks like it might be a rare opportunity for someone local to pick one up. I remember seeing an M17 with the portlight holes glassed over for sale awhile back, although I don't remember if it was in New England at that time. Presumably this is the same boat. If the glasswork was done well, I would consider that a bonus and pop in some nice bronze or stainless elliptical portlights.
