Bones…. I am reminded about some weird requests. One was can you install wheel Steering…? No……another was “I want hot pressure water on a 17 for a cockpit shower.” To be honest that guy was Ted Turner and yes I accommodated him, remembering Ted won the America’s Cup and was an excellent sailor. Nice guy. I did get an inquiry about a guy who wanted to shoehorn a small diesel into a 17. I laughed. He settled for a Honda outboard. We built a tad more than 350 Montgomery’s. Most were identical with a slight exception for the 17s that crossed the Pacific (Strawanza) and others who are in Hawaii, one with a FC Bulkhead lay out that really was sweet. Sent from my iPad

Warranty? I didn't realize you offered a Lifetime Warranty. Who do I contact to file a claim?

I don't remember that one, but some were close. Another was the guy from New Mexico that picked the boat up and lost it on the freeway on the way home. Wanted to know if it was under warrantee. He apparently hit the brakes hard, jackknifed the trailer and the boat came off. Surprisingly, it was just dinged up a little. We bilds em gud.

Jerry,
I remember your post from years back about some of the weird conversations you had with people that called you. It was hilarious. Didn't one fellow retrofit a V8 into a M17 and want to know what that big pole in the middle of the boat was for?
HA!
