Joe..I did get a M17 last summer and I really like it a lot. I have had a bigger boat (43') in South Florida for the past 10 years and I would like to relpace it with something a little bigger than the M17. I keep the M17 on Ky Lake and it's just to far to trailer it back an forth as often as we go to Florida. I plan to keep the M17 and I must say I enjoyed it more than about any other boat I have owned in the past. Regards Tony E.

Bob....I noticed you are finishing up a couple M23's. I didn't see any price and spec information on Montgomery Boats. What the price range and delivery time when set up for cruising? We you get one finished up I would like to come take a look at one.

Tony, If you are still looking for an M23 check out http://www.sailingtexas.com/smontgomery23a.html I'm not sure if it finally sold. The newer M23's look a lot like the Falmouth Cutter which it is fashioned after. I was very tempted into pursuing the M23 and talked to Bob Eeg about it. I told him the "whats and wherefores" for my particular situation and he strongly suggested the M17 instead. Will you have a water depth issue in Florida? If not, perhaps you might want to look at some Falmouth Cutters or the Flickas. I had a NorSea 27 for 5 years but the sailing areas where I live here on the outer banks of NC are just not conducive to a 4' draft boat unless you stay rigidly within the channels. Not much fun when I look out my back door to the Bogue Sound that is 2 miles wide and 25 long and is about 2' deep in 90% of it. Glad you are enjoying your M17. I have mine out to do some spring stuff like bottom washing and touchup and a good varnish job on the little bit of teak (compared to the NorSea!!) Plus I'm putting in a 12V system with nav lights and some interior lights, fans etc. I'm also putting in a fixed VHF with a mast antenna. I haven't figured out the best place to locate the radio. I have a handheld but sometimes it doesn't have quite enough juice to stay in touch with others. I'll probably go out with a group wide solicitation of suggestions. Sailing it is quite a new experience compared to the NorSea. Ten feet shorter and ten thousand pounds lighter I guess would make a difference. I actually have to trim sails!! New learning curve. BTW was I correct that your boat and mine came cross country together with a total of three on the same trailer or was your's the one that came tranported solo?? My M17 is called Seafrog. Good luck in your search for the perfect Florida boat and have fun on the M17 Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: <treed@communitycareinc.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 3:16 PM Subject: Re: M_Boats: M23

Joe, I have a question for you. The boarding ladder on my M15 has a stainless bolt with a not that screws into the foot of the boarding ladder. I holds it up securely but obviously it takes a little time to undo. I really have not paid much attention to it until the other day when I was putting it back on the trailer. How are you securing yours?

Tony, Mine came basically the same way. The only thing that sounds different is that mine has the bolt that just slips through a pad eye strap and into the leg of the ladder. It is simple to remove but I have to be careful where I put it because it isn't tethered in any way to the boat. I haven't changed it yet, but plan to as soon as I can figure out a better mousetrap.

Joe, I referred to a M15 in the email to you but's it a M17. I was reading about the new sail plan on Doug's M15 (I think is was Doug's) and I guess I had a M15 on my mind or something.
