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.
Thanks,
