As you become more familiar with your Monty you'll find out what a spectacular sailing vessel it really is. Keep us posted on sailing adventures in Alaska. We'll probably never get there, but help us all imagine what we are missing. When questions arise about how things work or anything at all, give us a holler, we're all glad to share know-how and experience with you -------------------------------------------- ..... and Skip; You had to travel all the way to Kentucky from the East Coast to pick up your Monty? I bought mine sight-unseen over the phone in Glastonbury, Connecticut and then picked up my new toy in Panama City, FL. Fifteen hundred mile pick-ups are fairly common. Connie ex M15 #400 LEPPO
Wayne,
It's nice to have you aboard!! You'll love the Monty. I live on the east coast and when I saw my first Monty, I wanted one too. The closest I could find was KY. One phone call later, I was making plans for a road trip and I've never looked back. I'm sure you and the grand kids will make many memories on you new purchase.
Best of luck!

Hello everyone.
I just started sailing last summer. Just a little.
Bought a small open bow 14 footer built for 2. It was full of holes and a mess. Had it in the garage thru the winter, fixed it all up and painted it. It turned out really nice, but almost instantly I wanted a little bigger boat. Something to take my grand kids out on.
I saw a Montgomery for the first time a couple weeks ago and fell in love with it.
I live in Alaska and soon found out there was only a handful up here.
I just couldn't believe it when one showed up on Craigslist yesterday.
It's in my driveway now and I couldn't be more excited.
