I’m still revved up after diving all night back from WI/Ill border back to Ohio towing her. I spent 2 hours at a drive in car wash bay immediately after I picked her up since I couldn’t bare seeing the M17 covered in 6 years of 4 seasons. The boat cleaned up pretty good. Positives Solid topsides. I sounded whole deck and walked every inch a couple of times it feels and sounds solid/dry. Solid hull with no blisters. Keel looks perfect with no bulge and is symmetrical. Inside floor/sides of walls was bone dry despite no cover over boat. Newer main and 135 Genny only sailed with in 2012 about 3x Negatives Companion way drop boards are pretty rough shape MAY be salvageable. Inside looks like a 80s time capsule tons of stuff within. It will take me a couple hours to clean and sort that out. Hull needs a full compounding, polish, wax since lots of oxidation-epoxy bottom barrier needs redone. Standing rigging will probably be good but all running needs replaced. Most of cockpit floor has very fine spider cracks but it is. I believe just superficial/cosmetic as well as a couple spots on topsides. Anyway I got it for about half of the $4000 asking price and wasn’t expecting a show room boat. I plan on floating her later this week to test the centerboard and for leaks. I plan to have her ready for next Spring launch. One observation! The M17 is massive and looks true to her reputation as being TOUGH built. I have a 98’ Precision 18 that I’ve been sailing the past month (which is a great boat by the way) but the P-18 will look dainty next to the M17! Sent from my iPhone
