Montgomery 23 Offshore Cutter

It's one of my favorite links:

Montgomery Sailboats Owners Group

There is actually one for sale right now:

Montgomery 23 for sale

not that I am actually considering it now, and I have NFI.

But it is a boat on my "maybe someday" list.

I am curious what others think abou the "offshore" aspect. Accurate?

How many are out there?

What boats would you consider as being similar (if "someday" rolls around, what else might I look at?) ?

What I like is the small, but just starting to be big enough to have cruising room size, the ability to handle the mast and rigging, the rock solid reputation of it's smaller siblings and trailerability (if I got a boat like that, it would mostly live in the water, but I like "on the hard" to be at home sometimes).
