Hi Tim, Welcome to the Montgomery board. Great group, lotsa knowledge shared. Good luck on your quest. We have an M15, took a while to find. Drove from Denver to Arkansas to get it. Very pleased. sal M15 - "Justus" - 1986 - #361 M23 - #2 - being built In a message dated 3/23/2010 9:08:30 A.M.

She became too much for me to take good care of. I'm 62 and have MS. I've done a geat deal of research and I have decided to buy a Montomery 17. We have alot of wind and water down here and for their size, they seem to be the best. I single hand most of the time. I have noticed that they are hard to find so I will just keep checking the website. I'm looking forward to hearing what the actual owners are conversing about. Thanks, Tim _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats Remember, there is no privacy on the Internet!
