Ron, Thanks for the info on the M15's cockpit dimensions. I appreciate it. Enjoy your day. Thanks again, Mark

She is a fine sailing boat, and she fits neatly in my garage with her removable tongue trailer. Her interior cockpit dimensions at seat-top level are 67" in length and 53 1/4" in beam at her widest point (about 21" aft of the companioway). The cockpit narrows somewhat toward the stern, and curves a bit at the companionway. You can see lots of photos of both the 17 and the 15 on the Montgomery website, and Bob Eeg (the owner of Montgomery Boats) is a great and friendly source of information. Good luck in your quest for the right sailboat for your needs, and Happy Thanksgiving. Regards, Ron Casino, M15 "Spirit" --- Mark Muellerweiss wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I'm Mark.
