I don't know of any drawings of that detail that are available, I guess Jerry, Bob, or the Hess family might, but what about using a life-size three-dimensional version i.e., the boat? Is it difficult to take off the necessary measurements from the boat while on the trailer? I suspect the trailer could be cranked and jacked until the floor of the cockpit is level to get correct elevations, assuming a level cockpit is the right point of reference. It'll take one he** of a pair of outside calipers, though. I ask, clearly knowing absolutely nothing about model building and sailing. I wonder if anyone would be interested in those half-hull models to hang on the wall. Might be another possible use of the measurements once they were obtained.

Doug, do you have in the archves/or has anyone submitted significant line drawings/plans for a Montgomery? I would be interested in finding enough data to construct a scale R/C model of my 17 for use on local ponds. Might be an area of interest for more than one of us. A mini-challenge may be in the offing.
