Great boat the 235! I just sold our 235 and have gone back to an M-17! Loved the 235 - sold it for other reasons. I did some major refit work on it - check out http://home.alamedanet.net/~jaytownley/ You'll enjoy it a lot!! Wonder if you bought our 235!?!?!

I just returned from California where I purchased a boat I have been watching for a number of years; a Beneteau First 235. It would be nice to keep the M17 and its special traits, but there is just not enough boat bucks to go around, so I have posted the M17 on the MSOG classified. Thanks to everyone for the collective knowledge that passes through these pages.
