My M-17 now has a new owner. I have been tinkering away on refurbishing it for 2-3 years and it hasn't been in the water, and I recently purchased another boat which will redirect sailing time. I wanted to send a note to the group to say I have enjoyed your company and I think this forum is a very positive reason to have an M-boat. Your discussions and advice were valuable on the projects I undertook, and the community of sailors is a real asset to Montgomery boats. I expect to check in from time to time, and I will definitely be on the lookout for you on the water. Fair breezes,  Nick
