HI Larry, Welcome back! There are two things I try to remember when I get the lust for a larger boat (two foot-itus), There is a fine line between you having the boat and the boat having you, and, if you go ahead and spend five to ten times the money for your new desire, that in no way means you're going to have five to ten times the enjoyment. In fact, the formula can be inversely proportional... There IS a lot to love in a Montgomery... Bones RE: I'm going back where I started; I'll be stopping in Pullman soon to look at a M-15. It doesn't get better than Montgomery. Larry B.
