And the M15 draft is 15" with board up and 1' 1/2" with it down, so with boards up the M17 has 6" more draft than the M15. I've owned both boats (have M17 now) and they are both fun! --Gary Hyde Pullman, WA gmhyde1@mac.com M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

I am interested, but do not yet have a Montgomery. I have a wonderful picture as my computer wallpaper of two Montgomery 15 boats pulled up about a foot from a sandy shore. This capability really appeals to me, but I may want the larger M-17. I have read several cruising stories where both boats were present. Does the greater draft of the M-17 make much practical difference in being able to pull up close to shore?
Thanks, Jerry Renno
