The Montgomery 17 is widely regarded as one of the most capable and seaworthy "pocket cruisers" ever built. Designed by Jerry Montgomery and produced by Montgomery Marine Products starting in 1973, the vessel was engineered to provide the security of a much larger offshore yacht within a package that could be easily towed by a standard vehicle. Its distinctive lapstrake-style fiberglass hull is not merely aesthetic; the ridges provide significant longitudinal stiffness and help deflect spray, contributing to a drier ride in choppy conditions. With a high ballast-to-displacement ratio and a stout construction profile, the Montgomery 17 has earned a legendary reputation among trailer-sailors for its ability to handle blue-water conditions that would sideline many 20-footers.
