rob:
if the boat has no lapstrake it is not a montgomery 15.
visit my boat's web site for pictures and my discussion of the M15s sailing
character -

i have seen a fair number boats incorrectly called montgomerys. if memory
serves there was a Vivacity listed as a M21 on the MSOG 'for sail' site for a
bit last year. i've even seen potter 15's listed as M15s on cragslist. i've
even had folks come up to me when i'm out and say, "is that a potter?" after i
hand them a towel after 'spitting in their general direction' i kindly explain
the difference between potters and Mboats ;-)
when i purchased SCRED i emailed jerry about the hull number (SCRED's is a
bit odd, and she shares #288 w/another boat). jerry stated he has never heard
of 'knock off' Mboats.

Greetings:
I currently live in Sacramento, CA. I own and sail (or at least try to) a C-15.
It is a fun boat, but the wife hates the tippy feel to the boat, and am having
problems finding crew at times. Saw a Montgomery 15 parked by the lake, and
since been doing research. Have heard a lot of good things about the boat. I
did find one for sale, but it is listed as a Montgomery 15 Guppy. Looking at
the pictures, it appears to have a smooth hull, not a lapstrake hull. It is
definetly not a Guppy 13, and looks to have a retractable keel. My main
question is, could this be a true Montgomery 15 or is could it be something
else? The owner does not know much about it.
Any advice is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks- Rob
