. . . teak strips on the interior, guarding the handrail thru-hulls and other thru-hulls . . . I notice this '81 doesn't have them, so I'm wondering if my strips were a former owner's add-on . . . I love the center mast-support on this boat, that fits into the tabernackle . . . ----- Original Message ----- From: Rachel To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2004 5:07 PM Subject: 1981 Montgomery 17 for sale Hi Randy and other M-ers, I checked out the photos just to see the boat; that cushion upholstery sure looked familiar! Same blue-brown lightning pattern as on my former 1981. Actually, for a moment I thought it might be my old one, but mine was #331, I'm pretty sure. I did quite a bit of core work on mine, including part of the cockpit sole. Anyway, it was a trip down memory lane. --- Rachel On Sunday, November 7, 2004, at 01:51 p.m., RandyG wrote: Friends, A friend forwarded this add to me a few day back when it first appeared on the trailersailor.com web.
