My Fellow M-Boat Enthusiasts, After sailing my M23 for 16 wonderful years, I have made the decision to downsize and go back to my M17. One of the biggest reasons is I wish to explore larger lakes in northern MN and WI and see new remote areas. I always knew this day would come, that being the reason I never parted with my M17. "Dhana" is a 1979 build, hull #75. She was formerly owned by Dick Lane and Larry Barkuff. I bought her in 2001. She is in sail-away condition, and has some unique features. Dhana was built without a drop fiberglass liner. The interior is all wood, berths, sole, galley, steps, with a larger V-berth. She is the only M23 I have seen with a Navik windvane, which boats have used to cross oceans. She has the original Trailrite trailer, excellent tires, and new surge brakes installed last year. Very roadworthy. Presently the boat is in Washburn Marina, on Lake Superior, gateway to the Apostle Islands. This is my first area of advertising, giving the true Montgomery followers a chance to own a rare M23. To the best of my knowledge, only 19 were built. Interested parties can contact me at my main E-mail address: bownez@sprynet.com I can provide an inventory list, and pictures. Pictures of Dhana are also available at the new M-boat picture site. I will be going up to Washburn on the 15th, and get fresh shots. I'm turning a page in my life......
