Outside of a very few early models, I never knew such a thing existed. Curious what her draft is, and how she performs side by side with the CB boats. On Apr 25, 2006, at 10:32 AM, ddaystrom@comcast.net wrote:

That's how I remember the history. The 17 started out with a fixed keel. So how did a fixed keel get on a 1992 boat? Wonder if it's the same cast iron keel? Keith Diehl wrote:

The first ten or fiffteen 17's were a 550 lb cast iron fixed keel, similar to a Cal 20 keel. They were very stiff but would hobby horse going to weather in a good chop, much like a Cal 20. The fixed keels made in the 90's were glass; an extension of the regular 12" fixed keel. Seems like the total depth (not draft) of the keel was 21". A good boat but I've never raced one so can't tell how fast it was. I sailed on one a couple of times and it felt good. Same amounty of ballast as the keel/CB model, but the weight was centered lower. Best of worlds except for launching draft.

Just curious, was a fixed keel (no cb) an option on the 17 or is this some kind of retrofit? bob s. -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+bobsmith=ag.arizona.edu@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+bobsmith=ag.arizona.edu@mailman.xmission.co m] On Behalf Of ddaystrom@comcast.net Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 8:32 AM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: Fixed keel 1992 M17 forsale in TX fyi - Fixed keel M17 forsale in TX. http://ww2.boatus.com/classifieds/AddDetail.asp?Boat=18975 -alw _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
