We have not seen an M17. We are also hoping to locate a clean used M17 for sale. We realize living here in northeastern Alabama isn't the best place to shop for a sailboat, especially a west coast build boat like the M17. But you never know till you make an effort. I have approximately 5 years sailing experience, primarily on larger sailboats. However, we are retiring this year at 62 and hope to relocate to the Charleston SC area. And of course, we want to do some serious sailing while we can. Any information will be appreciated. I will be heading to the Tampa Florida area next friday to view a Precision 18. If there are any M17 owners' nearby or on the northwest Gulf coast, I'd love to see your boat!

Good Morning Tony, Thankyou for your response. It's interesting how things work out. I had planned to head to Florida next friday to view a Precision 18 but have had some difficulty with the owner. We had looked at the M17's last year, but weren't too successful locating one to view. So yesterday I decided to try once again to locate a willing owner to let us view their M17. We've had three so far, and one in Louisiana that happens to be for sale! So, we may have found our perfect boat!? We are retiring this year and want to do some extended exploring of the ICW as well as sail out from time to time(weather pending). We also wanted to keep the size manageable for trailering, sailing, launching/retrieving and storing in a standard garage. The M17 is hard to beat. But we need to see one in person to be sure. Again, we appreciate your kind offer. We may in fact take you up on it; we have some friends that live in Brentwood. We'll keep in touch....
