Default Anyone doing any boating this summer?

It does look nice, and the high freeboard at the bow is a step in the

right direction. If I were boating where Don is however, I'd want

something a tad bigger with a sharp entry forward and deep-Vee hull,

maybe something like a Grady-White 24. G-Ws are designed to handle

rough conditions and have good reputations.

There is also a Canadian boat called a Campion that has a good

reputation:

To trade up to that and a tow rig to haul it would take a good size chunk out of the boy's inheritance money.
Then we still have the short 4-5 month boating season
