Hi Rick, Welcome to you, and you've got a fine boat there. I met Walt when he was showing his boat at Annapolis (Fall '05), and Bob Eeg was there with him. I went to the show focused on a different boat, but the M17 sure caught my eye. I was living in Connecticut at the time, and arranged to drive back down to Annapolis to meet Walt again a few weeks after the show. We had a great sail on his Monty that day in windy conditions, and that really made it clear to me that the design of the M17 was superb. I was really impressed by how stiff the boat felt in the chop and gusty conditions. Walt's boat wasn't for sale at the time, so I ended up getting one direct from Bob. Have fun, Matt (now in San Diego) M17 #636, Lily ----- Original Message ----- From: <JDavies104@aol.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 10:38 AM Subject: M_Boats: New owner
Although I've been an M-17 owner since July, I've only just now found this mailing list and thought I'd introduce myself.
