Wish it would point a little higher, but not in the nature of the

Good question... It's not practical but I would like a regular
traveller on my Cal 20. Other than that and a better motor mount, I
can't really think of anything.


If it's not pratical why would you want it?
Afraid that 2 hp might rip off your transom?


Lost the arguments in the political arena, now you're on to looking
like a fool regarding sailing topics... got it.

It's not practical because I would like to better control the position
of the boom, but I would have to redo the entire mainsheet set up, and
I like using the barney post more than I care about boom position.

As far as the engine goes, I hardly ever use it, but it's a 4 horse,
2 stroke, and it weighs about 35 pounds. The motor mount gets stuck
some times when all the way down. Not a big deal for me, but when
my friend uses the boat, she has trouble with it.
