Doug, I think I have pics of every M-boat, except the M17 with the fixed keel. I would love to have a pic of Snoopy, if one exists . . . I'd gladly reimburse you to copy it at a Kinko's and post it to me, if you don't have a scanner. I even have a pic of an M23 with a fixed-keel and M15 deck . . . Yep, the boat exists, a "chimera", and sails in Arizona . . . Thanks! --Craig Honshell, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've just been observing since I subscribed to this list. I subscribed because I owned an M-17 years ago. I bought her at McWayne Marine in Honolulu in 1976 and lived on her for almost 2 years there. I named her Woodstock, after the bird in the Snoopy cartoons. I had learned to sail hanging out with a friend who owned a documented motorsailer named Snoopy, and since I was always tagging along with him, it was the perfect name for her. I had so many wonderful times on her I wouldn't even know where to start talking story about her! I now own a Com-Pac16 in East TN. My questions are, when did Jerry Montgomery start building these wonderful boats and how many were fitted with a fixed keel? Woodstock had a fixed keel on her and was an awsome little boat.
