Yes I would like to see them. thanks randy -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of stephen gray Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2003 7:39 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: M_Boats: Interesting Boat This is a bit off topic for Montgomery owners, but I know there are folks out there sometimes looking for a micro-cruiser type boat. Today I ran into a 1990 Seward Fox (18') for sale at an auto lot. The previous owner was either a machinist or had stock in a stainless steel factory. For an 18' boat it had the total offshore package...stainless handholds everywhere, 5-6 fairleads on every line led aft, rear scuppers with flaps, full instrumentation, a Bruce anchor, totally reinforced hatches and cockpit doors, custom mounts for boom and poles when trailering, stainless port rims, cockpit table, dodger, oversize winches and on and on. All of this on a tandem galvanized trailer with tongue extenders and all the extras. I've never seen a small boat this customized with typical offshore equipment. Hatches and access ports to every nook and cranny on the boat. Someone spent thousands on equipment for this thing. The former owner had even written about a fifty page manual on how to use the boat and all the custom installations he had made. Complete with a chart of proper sail configurations for every two knot range of wind conditions from 0-60 knots. I would never recommend heading offshore in a boat this small, but If you wanted to do some extended Sea of Cortez type stuff and trailer through the back country this looks ready to go. NADA says $4700. is low book for a '90 model before any adds and the dealer says it can go for $4200. It's at an Auto Pawn store here in Vegas and I suspect someone passing through did the Vegas thing and lost his boat. I'm not trying to make a sale here for a pawn guy, It's just one of the most intriguing small boats that I have seen. If anyone wants to see it I will try and get some time to get a few pictures and post them so you can see how far an owner can customize a small boat. You would have to see this thing to believe it. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
