History and Description

The Montgomery 23 is a particularly designed to be a moderate-displacement coastal cruising boat this a capable of offshore passages while retaining the ability to trailer-launch. She is particularly well-adapted to vacation-type cruising; hauling down to the Sea of Cortez or to places like the San Juans, and then cruising for a few weeks.About 1/2 of the M23s build were sold without a finished interior (ie, owner finished) so there is some variation in the finish standard and setup.The boat + trailer + stuff load has been stated by owners to be being about 6500#.The centerboard weight is 320#.
