1983 Montgomery 17 For Sale We have owned Montgomery 17 (hull number 369) for three years and have been extremely happy with her. The boat does everything well from sailing and trailering to launching and recovering. Under sail the boat has a reassuring feel to her, inspiring confidence. It tows well, and is easily launched and retrieved by one person. The construction is sturdier than most, quite well built overall. We did a lot of research prior to selecting a Montgomery 17 and we feel we made the right choice. We have sailed on many lakes in the Pacific Northwest as well as Lake Tahoe. We figured this would be the last boat we would ever purchase however a Cape Dory 25d cast her spell on us. We have a "one boat at a time rule" so regretfully are offering our M17 for sale. The boat has been thoroughly restored and looks as if it just popped out of the mold. The Trailrite trailer was factory refurbished and painted and we installed new radial trailer tires. The Headsail is a 2-year-old, North 150% genoa on a CDI furler unit, both are in new condition. A new North Sail main with foot shelf and double reef points only use 3 times. Also included are the original main and jib in good condition. New 4 hp, 4 stroke Yamaha engine. Full electronics and lighting to include: New auto bilge pump, VHF radio, Navico auto pilot, new Standard Horizon Depth, Speed and Temperature instruments and tri-color masthead light. The hull is perfect, without damage, and has slotted aluminum toe rails which are much stronger and versatile (also more expensive) than the teak toe rails in my opinion. All woodwork has been refinished and is in outstanding condition. The boat has lifeline and stanchions, new sail covers and a full boat cover that fits over the entire boat and mast when the mast is in the traveling position. There is a tongue extension, about 10' long I think, that I have never used because the boat floats off easily just as the tow vehicle tires touch the water. The interior cushions are original and are in perfect condition without stains or wear. Galley model, with water storage, sink and built-ins, Custom teak yoke assembly fits in to transom gudgeons for mast support during transport. The cabin has a custom V- berth extension, porta-potty and quarter berth. There is a transom ladder, companionway screen, cockpit mat, ground tackle, flares, fenders and much, much, more. Virtually a like new boat at a fraction of the cost of a factory new boat with similar motor, trailer, sails and equipment.
