Ches, I vote yes!! buy her. For that price, take her out, see what you think, if you like her, fix her up. If not, you can sell her easy. Tom B, M17 #258. M17's take a little more to use but give you back a LOT more. On Tue, May 20, 2014 at 12:13 PM, Chesley Sugg <csugg@mindspring.com> wrote:
I have a wonderful 1981 M-15 down at my sailing club that I have had for about a year.
Recently, a 1982 M-17 came up for sale, $2500. She's in ok but not great shape. No major problems that I can find. Centerboard has been dropped, sanded and epoxied. Boat is dirty and has some cushions but they really don't fit. She comes with a ok trailer, new lights and bearings. Boat has electric system missing. 4 hp 2-stroke johnson. Am I a idiot for buying her? I just want to find out if it suits me better that my 15.
Thanks, Ches
