Hey Monty People: The best thing about the free willy post is there is finally activity on the board. There isn't anything he, (Bill - free willy), or anyone else can say to shake my confidence in the value or capabilities of my M17. Bill & Jo Larson M17 #632 "Jo Ellen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wow,?

Perhaps your argument would be more persuasive if you mentioned which boats are better than a Montgomery, and which ones are a better value. Can you name a single boat of comparable design, which was successfully introduced by a newcomer to the market in the same time frame as the M-23? I regret that a guy beat you down on your old boat. I am willing to bet that when you next sell a boat you will be beaten down again. I suspect you have grown accustomed to being beaten down. BTW, do not bother contacting me directly. The only way I will ever hear from you is if you post to the list. steve Steve R.

Numerous firms went belly up. Jerry survived by focusing on smaller boats.
