Again Scotty Potti has questioned one of my posts after learning that many of
the folks here had been through quite an upgrade curve...or were still planning
one. Beat on that point he then worried over my comment that "I'd never met a
sailor with zero consideration for the look of the boat." In addition to that
Katy stated that looks shouldn't matter to a sailor.
What a load of crap, I say!
For me, the looks of a boat are worth about 20-30% of my final decision. It's
not more or less important than performance, but there's no reason to own a
ugly boat like Loco's or Capt. Neal's. Perhaps Loco "thinks" his boat is
attractive and that's fine. Some guys prefer women shaped like mailboxes too.
So....how did the beauty of your boat effect your decision to buy. Would you
have bought a boat that offended your eye if she crunched the numbers well?
