You are buying a new Monty, sight unseen right?
I bought a '76 Monty unseen which is a much greater risk, but I did
it because I had researched M boats and having a little experience with other boats knew it was what I wanted.
One reason so few used M boats are available is because
the owners love them so much. My advice is go for it, you will love the M15.

Subject: M_Boats: Buying Sight Unseen
I'm about to purchase a new Montgomery 15 - what
propels me to this purchase is your enthusiasm for the
Montgomery boats. But I have never even seen this boat in person. My
question for you folks is: Have any of you put down
your money to purchase a boat that you have never
sailed, let alone, seen? Should I?
My history is that I have been researching and looking
for used Potters for about a year and came across your
group and I have been following your writings for
months. The upshot of it is that you have convinced
me to get me a M15, but it remains a boat that I have
never touched, sat in, launched or sailed, or even
seen it sailed. The factory is 3,000 miles away from
our home in SC, so going there for a first-hand
look-see is not a viable option.
I'm fortunate that I have a wife who supports my
getting into sailing, but she does raise the question
if I am of sound mind ordering something sight unseen.
What do you think? Chris
