Hi Chris You are buying a new Monty, sight unseen right? I bought a '76 Monty unseen which is a much greater risk, but I did it because I had researched M boats and having a little experience with other boats knew it was what I wanted. One reason so few used M boats are available is because the owners love them so much. My advice is go for it, you will love the M15.

I'm about to purchase a new Montgomery 15 - what propels me to this purchase is your enthusiasm for the Montgomery boats. But I have never even seen this boat in person. My question for you folks is: Have any of you put down your money to purchase a boat that you have never sailed, let alone, seen? Should I? My history is that I have been researching and looking for used Potters for about a year and came across your group and I have been following your writings for months. The upshot of it is that you have convinced me to get me a M15, but it remains a boat that I have never touched, sat in, launched or sailed, or even seen it sailed. The factory is 3,000 miles away from our home in SC, so going there for a first-hand look-see is not a viable option. I'm fortunate that I have a wife who supports my getting into sailing, but she does raise the question if I am of sound mind ordering something sight unseen.
What do you think? Chris
