I can't say I know anything about this boat, but I love the ones in bold colours like this one. The yellow looks really good.

After looking for a reasonable distance M17 (7 hours) I finally found one and plan to drive out to check it out/buy this coming Tuesday
The 1977 M17 hull number 248# is being sold by the family of the elderly sailor. They know nothing about the boat other than it’s been sitting in his yard for 6 years since he last sailed it on Lake Michigan They are asking $4000 and I counter offered $3600 foolishly!!!
Anyway they sent a bunch of internal and external pictures the hull looks solid the interior-floor-walls looks dry.
I expect to replace standing-running rigging over this coming winter. If deck is solid and keel looks “normal” I’ll probably drag it home.
Anyone know anything about this boat? Or any recommendations about this deal?
Thanks Erik in Ohio
