Don't understand why you are reluctant to visit thr Montgomery factory, I
was there in August in connection with my purchase of
a new trailer for my M17 and had a very nice visit with Bob & a
complete tour of the facility.
Bob took time from his schedule to personally show me around and answer all
my questions.
I'm very satisfied with the trailer and appreciated a chance to see the
inner workings of a Montgomery in production.

Montgomery
Good afternoon from Rockport, Texas.
My wife and I are
considering purchasing a new M 17 for sailing out of Southwest Harbor,
Maine. It will be our 2nd. The first was in 1983 which we stupidly
sold after 3 years.
So far we are planning to
make a trip to the factory in December to take a look at the new production
but, the folks at the plant have been less than enthusiastic about our making
the trip. It makes us wonder what is up. We found Jerry Montgomery
to be wonderful to work with in 1981 when we were building a Bristol Channel
Cutter and using one of his dinks (absolutely the best tender ever
built!) and also just teriffic when he delivered our M 17 to Corpus
Christi, TX in 1983.
I would greatly
appreciate your sharing any recent experiences in the new production line
with us. Cheers and have a great day.
Skip Langley
