Howard, I have a Nissan 4 hp 4 stroke which I'm pretty sure is the same motor as the Tohatsu. It has both internal and external fuel tanks and runs beautifully. It has plenty of power and gets excellent fuel economy. One feature that I really like (but fortunately haven't used yet) is that the prop has a clutch on it instead of a shear pin. I think it's a perfect auxiliary power selection for the Montgomery 17.

You could start with the boats listed for sail on the MSOG website: http://msog.org/cfmods/M-boats4sail.cfm Some places like Yachtworld also have Montgomery boats and two of them look to be in the Northwest area. http://www.yachtworld.com/listing/yw_listing_detail.jsp?checked_boats=92 9868 &checked_boats=1019758&checked_boats=1000330&THREE_SEARCH_RESULTS=true&c urre ncy=USD&units=Feet I notice that Irv does have the former "Whoa Nellie" back on the market. Wondering how the 4 hp 4 stroke Tohatsu worked for him? That is a motor I can get locally, and would be a strong candidate for me to consider when replacement time rolls around.
