I live down at the Texas coast in Rockport. I recently sold my beautiful classic Alberg 30 in Dec. 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!
