I'm looking at buying a sailboat that I'm having trouble identifying. The title says it's a 1990 Montgomery Kit. It's about 15' long, 6' beam, with a cabin. It's laid out much like the Mongomery 15's shown on the MSOG website and the Montgomery Boats website, but it lacks the lapstrake look on the sides, and it has a fixed steel bulb keel rather than the swinging keel/swing centerboard combo. I can't find the HIN anywhere on it, and the only ID number the title had on it was "00982".
The price is pretty good, the boat looks like it meets my needs (I have 3 children ages 6, 3, and 1), and the title is clear. The boat needs some woodwork, the hatch and trim around the cabin need to be replace, and the wood in the tiller is splitting and delaminating. All the fittings seem to be and good shape, and the hull is sound, so I think I can build all the wooden bits that need to be replaced. I'd still like to be able to identify the boat, just in case I would ever need to buy parts for it. I need to get back to the seller with an offer in the next few days before she goes out of town; if not, she's going to donate it for a tax write off (on the plus side, this means she'll likely take a lot less than the asking price). Any information anyone has would be greatly appreciated. --scot ===== -- Scot Alexander "There are 10 kinds of people in this world; those who understand binary numbers, and those who don't." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
