It is identical to the one portrayed on: http://www.msog.org/models/m23new/m23_thumbs.cfm Robin's Nest shall have tanbark sails. I think the inboard diesel is a wee bit larger than the original. Bob Eeg can confirm that. I can tell you that I researched boats aplenty. We came within a whisker of buying an ETAP 24i but in the end, the Montgomery 23 stole our hearts. I also liked the Rhodes 22. THAT owners group is a rowdy bunch! Looking forward to meeting everybody out on the water! Jerry & Robin On Sun, 2009-03-15 at 22:26 +0000, bownez@juno.com wrote:

Jerry,

This is the first I've heard of a new M23 about to hit the water. Yours must be hull #2 after Fred and Lilly's. Tell us more about it...will it have an outboard motor? Has Bob changed much of the design from hull #1? Please post pictures when you have them!

Thanks,

Michael "Bones" Bowden M23 #75
