Seller's Description
Price reduced. I’m selling my 2007 Montgomery 17 sailboat. Montgomery’s are great sailing and this model has a great cabin that sleeps 2 adults and a couple of young kids too. It even comes with a small cassette toilet – which as far as I know, has never been used. This is a clean boat with current registration.
Equipment: Two headsails. I’m guessing a 150 and 110. I’ll update this when I go look. Roller Furling Lewmar size 6 winches. Boom/main cover which is especially great if you keep her rigged and in the water. Added Adjustable backstay to both help in ease of rigging mast and adding a bit of control/performance when sailing. 1- 12v Deep Cycle battery for house electric. Radio and Speakers Battery and switches All the basic safety gear to pass inspection. Outboard Motor Mount that raises and lowers. Minn Kota Electric Motor 2 - Deep Cycle Batteries for motor plus built in AC plug, charger and monitor. Delta Anchor, chain/rode. 12v accessory outlets
2018 custom built Pacific Trailer All galvanized with Torsion Axle and telescoping tongue. Trailer was custom built for this boat and made for the boat to sit lower which eases launching and trailering. Full size spare tire (never used) with cover
I kept this boat in the water half of the year and half on a trailer. The hull still has some old bottom paint on it. A new owner would likely want to remove it all and then possibly add a new layer of bottom paint. The boat comes with an unused Gallon of Interlux Act in Blue which costs about $175.

Calculations

6.8 kn
Classic: 5.33 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
19.7
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
39.2
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
158.0
100-200: light
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
9.4
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.6
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
Early boats had a fixed keel.
In addition, a flush deck version was also available.
