I am the seller. It is going to a new owner in New Braunfels Texas. On Tue, Feb 2, 2021 at 9:01 AM Thomas Buzzi <thomaspbuzzi@gmail.com> wrote:
It can be moved forward but should not protrude beyond the trailer hitch. Also, the transport vehicle must be inspected so that any sharp turns made by the vehicle will not contact any part of your Monty or else severe damage may occur. Good luck. Where in South Texas are you going? I live in Brenham, just west of Houston and have a Monty 17 also. Tom at 7137021743. Let me know how your move works out. Good luck and fair winds.

We are getting ready to hire a transport company to haul a Montgomery 17 from the SF Bay area to Southern Texas. A few questions:
Is it safe to move the mast forward so that it does not overhang the rear of the boat so as to shorten the transport length to reduce dollar cost of transporting the rig on a truck and trailer.
I am assuming it can be secured further forward. Not sure if there are any implications for the mast?
