Tim, I also think about moving up to a M23 some day but as new it doesn't fit my budget. Other choices might be: Nimble 20 - doesn't sail as well as Montgomery but not much does Rob Roy 23 - I am partial to traditional looking canoe yawls Etap 21 - modern, fast, room and not many used ones around. Then there are the new wood/epoxy boats that show up ocassionaly. There was a Bolger Blueberry - 20 ft, Gaff Cutter - that went for a mere $6000 - a very pretty boat and fine cruiser Enjoy the search.

SWMBO suggested to me that a bit more room inside the boat would be more to her liking. More than a 17. At first thought, a new M23 comes to mind....but I am not quite flush enough to both purchase the boat....then the vehicle capable of towing it. So my question to you is: What choices might there be out there that is slightly larger than a 17, is fast, seaworthy/ well built, beautiful, trailerable and brings as much pride of ownership as an M17? I have been looking but have not been inspired by anything I would consider actually buying and giving up our 17 for.
