I've never sailed with more than one passenger, ( only have 1 friend ) but I think the 17 will handle 4 O.K. Now let me qualify that. It will handle well or badly depending on the sailing skill of the 4 and the level of wind they are dealing with ... as would be applicable to 4 in any small boat. A more important question ..".is any other 17 footer I 've seen built as solid as a Montgomery"...the answer is no. As a added bonus it's also the prettiest boat on the water. I have motored with 6 adults (4hp motor) in a open bay with no problems.

I'm buying a boat and the M17 has made my short list of candidates.
I would appreciate any insight/experience about how they behave with four adult-sized bodies on board.
Thanks.
