Hello Jeff?
The
stuff you stumbled on is just stuff as far as I can tell. The builder is very
active and supportive on this board. I didn’t buy my M17 new but there
are others around that have. If I had the resources I would be ordering a new
M23 from him right now. Buy the
M17, you won’t regret it. As for your other question, there are several
Montgomeries in the Portland area. I’m in
Mark Dvorscak
M17 #400

Subject: M_Boats: considering the
M17...request for info
Hi,
I'm glad to see that there is an active group of Montgomery owners here.
We have been searching for the perfect(for us) boat for sometime.
The M-17 meets most of our criteria and we're getting very close to
placing an order when I stumbled on to a bunch of "stuff" on the net
that suggested that the builder had some financial and credibility issues.
If any of you have recent experience with the builder and can give me some info
I would appreciate it.
Also, I'm interested in knowing how easy(or difficult) it is for one person to
raise the mast on the 17. I live in Portland Or. and will be using the
boat on lakes, rivers and on Puget Sound. If there are any active
Montgomery sailers in the Portland area I would love to hear from you.
Thanks
