Ches, Where are you located? If you're not interested, let me know. I'm never embarrassed to own a second...third....forth......fleet of boats. My situation has changed recently and I might be in the market for a larger boat. As Steve said.......you can always change your mind later and sell her or one of your other boats. You will fine that there are several individuals on this site that 'collect' M-boats.

Too many sailboats is never enough, particularly if they are M-boats. Try the M-17, then if you find it suits your sailing better than the M-15, keep it and sell the M-15. But you may decide to keep the M-15, and sell the M-17. It is possible that you may choose to keep both boats. Not to be embarrassed if you own two M-boats, start a collection, get an M-10 and a M-23 too.

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
