Welcome Matt..
A good clean used M_17 will do the job on Flathead Lake for you.
Montgomery sailboats are fantastic sailboats. They go upwind well. They are built strong and with quality components. They are properly ballasted and self righting. They were properly designed by professional people who knew what was required. They hold their value.
Potters...?.... Lousy sailing characteristics; won't tack in strong winds. etc. Won't go upwind very well. Built lite with plastic and pop-rivets Not Ocean Worthy at all. Not really self righting or not enough proper ballast to do the job right. Design?....Its a rowboat with a cabin. Can be had cheap on the used market. (for a reason)
And I'am sugar coating it. (smile)
Fair winds and welcome to the group. Bob
