Thanks Dave; I've researched the issues of older M boats and am looking for a M17, either older that's been garaged and maintained, or a newer one that is no longer wanted. I've seen the effects of 20 years of defered maintainence and want no part of it. I'm willing to pay more up front. A Monty 17 built any year is years ahead of it's time, with the cored decks and balast and centerboard combo. However if not properly maintained these both can become a expensive time consuming burden. I am amazed that there are absolutely none available second hand from the 80's or 90's. It almost defies reason. however, as I stated before, if I had one I wouldn't sell it either. I saw the one you mentioned, an 80's model for like 11K on the east coast I think. It got my hopes up that there'd be more. I'm saving my nickles and keeping my eyes open. Thanks again, Mitch
