Mike. I don't have any pics. It just provided places to attach things. Good in it reduced likelihood.of drilling a hole through hull when installing a mounting bracket. Bad in it limited customization. Maybe someone can photo under their M17 vberth?

Dave, Your comments are appreciated. Now I'm curious about the under-v berth liner you mentioned. Would be great to hear a description and function if you have the time. Mike

Mike:

I agree that looks like something original. Strange that your boat doesn't have the under-vberth liner.

Hope Jerry will see and he can state the model of potty and with that you can go hunting for an old one on eBay.

If not you could grind off the flanges and bond a sheet of plywood over so you have a base to use a potty currently available.

Dave, Thanks for your reply. A photo of the molded base is attached. It does not appear to be an "add on", but does look like it was part of the original design.

Thanks, Mike W

You wrote 'molded base'. You boat has something besides a flat shelf?

Fellow Montgomery owners, Recently purchased a 1978 M17 stored in former owners backyard, under tarp, for 26 years. I have refinished all teak, replaced all running rigging, and applied wax and polish. She looks great! My wife and I sail in Sequim Bay, Olympic Peninsula, Washington.Our only problem is locating a porta potty that fits in the molded base beneath the v berth; any suggestions would be appreciated.
