Hi Rachel and all, I also saw that boat for sale many years ago, it was offered by Northland Yachts in Minnetonka, Mn. It was very worn and tired, but you also need to consider that Dave Nixon claimed to have sailed that M17 many hundreds of miles through the Carribean. I chartered a variety of boats from Dave, who formerly was chartermaster of Superior Charters in Bayfield, WI. Great guy, but he did have a stern side. (no play on words intended). This is a high NM M17, too bad we don't have odometers. Dave put me in touch with a charter captain that worked for him, John, from whom I purchased my M17 1976 #92. Later, Bones
