Hello everyone, I am kind of a lurker on this list but figured with all of the talk about Minnesota Monty’s I should probably chime in. I currently own a 1977 Montgomery 17 and a 1985 Montgomery 15. Both are nicely tucked in the pole barn until spring. I joined the two Montgomery Rendezvous that Gordon Gilbert organized a few years ago. Once in the 17 and the second time in the 15. I meant to sell one of them when I figured out which one I liked better, but since my wife hasn’t really pressured me i haven’t really tried to make that difficult decision. I have kept the 17 for two seasons on Lake Pepin, but also trailer to Lake Waconia on occasion and perhaps every other year make some kind of a trip up to Lake Superior. I am looking forward to spring, this winter is getting long. —Chad
