I tried to buy that boat one time. Would be a good candidate to saw the keel off and do a low cost turbo job on it. There's value in the trailer as well.

Cut off the keel, play with the rig a bit, lighten up the boat a bit. Go with a bulb centerboard, go fast ________________________________ From: Thomas Buzzi <thomaspbuzzi@gmail.com> To: Stan Susman <stanpfa@pacbell.net>; For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2014 6:35 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: M17 for $2000 in CA What is a "turbo job"??
