Hi Rob, I have a Monty 17, 1977 #258. They are fine boats. Check to see if your centerboard retracts and extends. I have done a load of upgrades on mine. It is worth the effort. If you go to the MSOG sailboat owners photo site and look up the boat name AS-IS you will see a couple dozen pictures of my craft. If you have any questions about how I did and why let me know her on the site. Fair winds, Tom Buzzi On Mon, Jan 13, 2020 at 7:42 PM Rob Bultman <rob.bultman@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
My name is Rob and I live in Louisville, KY. I learned to sail on the Ohio river about 10 years ago but haven't sailed a ton. I just recently purchase a 1977 M17, hull number 231. The boat can be sailed now, but needs a little work and updating. The previous owner put some effort into fixing leaks, repairing the electrical, and adding LED lights. I'm looking forward to sailing on the Ohio as well as taking the boat to other lakes in the area. I have family that lives on the Potomac and I'm looking forward to sailing there too.
Regards, Rob
