Can't help with a boat to look at, but as a 6' 3" guy can say that you will be able to stretch out OK on the M15 V-berth. I tried it myself when I went out with Daniel several weeks ago. The cabin is amazingly spacious for a 15 ft. boat. No compression post helps a lot, as does no dagger or center board trunk intruding in any significant way. You won't be able to sit up completely straight under the cabin roof, but with the hatch slid open you can sit on the center "notch" in the v-berth with top of head just above hatch/roof level. Not much help if it's raining (tarp tent over boom will take care of that), but nice to be able to sit up somewhere in the boat besides the cockpit. cheers, John S.

Hello! This is Tyler from Southern California (Riverside).
I'm between boats (I just sold my 1974 Catalina 22) and am saving money and looking for a Montgomery 15. I think this is the boat I want, but I've never seen one in person. In particular, I'd like to lay down in the cabin to see if it's big enough for me to sleep comfortably (I'm 6'2" tall).
Does anyone in SoCal have one they'd like some volunteer crew for a daysail and/or race? I'm an experienced sailor who listens well to instructions.
I'll be moving up to Davis, CA in a few months, so if I don't find anyone down here, I'd also be interested in crewing anywhere in the Delta or Bay areas. Long term I'd like to buy a Montgomery 15 for cruising and exploring the California Delta and San Francisco Bay with my wife & small dog.
Thanks!
Tyler
