Smitty, Eugene's Lodrini's M17 is for sale, I was going to purchase her but do to a variety of personal reasons I will not be. She is in great shape and he has refitted her in a extremely thoughtful manner. Let me know if you are interested, I am helping him sell "Whoa Nellie". She is located in Mystic CT.

It is an '83 located in Port Orchard, WA. I'm trying to decided whether to buy a good used 17 or go for the gusto and buy a new boat. My main concern about the used boats is the steel ballast rusting and causing problems. Seems to me I remember some posts about this, but can't remember what was done to stop/prevent problems. Thanks for any advice Smitty Windsurfers Do It Standing Up ! US-842 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
