Jon, I owned an M-10 for awhile and it was titled as a Montgomery Ward. After I bought the boat I tried to have it corrected but that opened up a whole other can of worms. So I sailed my Montgomery Ward for a few years before I ended up selling her. William Campion

Ha! The title for my Minnesota 1980 M17 also says SEAKING and I always wondered where that came from. Now I know!

Correction: I just double checked my registration card. Monita is registered as a 1979 SEAKING!
SEAKING is the house brand name Montgomery Ward used for their outboard motors and other boating gear back in the day. I believe the Seaking Motors were actually made by Evinrude.
Not a big deal as it is on the state DNR registration only. No titles for boats here in MN.

Looks like someone at the registration office slipped up why typing.
I've read that some folks have their titles/registrations messed up stating their Montgomery is a 'Montgomery Ward'.

Looking at my registration and title I see I am owner of a Mongomery sailboat. Will you other sailors check your documents and tell me how your boats are titled? I have a CA title.
