Hello to all, After looking at a lot of sailboats in 17 foot range Montgomery 17 is first choice. I sailed a Tanzer 16 overnighter, then sold it. I’m retired. I hope to buy a M. 17 in next year. I plan to sail on rivers around Portland and lakes in Oregon. take care, Dick Z. Sent from my iPad
Hello Richard, Welcome to the group! There are lots of good folk here who have many years of experience sailing all the variations of M-boats, feel free to ask questions. If you are shopping you might want to check this craigslist post https://sandiego.craigslist.org/…/coeur-ale…/7109977501.html <https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/boa/d/coeur-alene-sailboat-montgomery-17/7109977501.html> It was just freshly posted on the Montgomery Sailboat Group Facebook page. It's a 1983 M17, and coincidently very close in vintage to my 1982 M17 which has been great boat for me -> * http://www.msogphotosite.com/Scripts/Boats/boatsdetail.php?id=105 <http://www.msogphotosite.com/Scripts/Boats/boatsdetail.php?id=105>* Cheers & welcome to the group...

Welcome! Hope you find a nice Monty 17. You will not regret the choice! I'm in the Rogue Valley in Oregon (Ashland). I have M17 #38, an oldie but a goodie from 1974, named "Pajarita" - means "little bird" in Spanish. May be her original name...the previous owner told me that the original owner (or some long ago owner anyhow) was a pastor from the USA who spent a lot of time in Mexico and had her down there with him. cheers, John On 4/22/20 8:00 PM, Richard Zimmerman via montgomery_boats wrote:
