Skipper,
I am curious, why are the parameters you have established for the
"Challenge" the criteria one should look for in a boat? Other boats and
criteria can meet another persons needs better than the ones you have
outlined in the Challenge.

They are no better, and you make a good point. The original challenge
was presented because a particular contributor stated their half-day
fishing boat was better for my purpose then the one I had chosen. A key
factor was the assertion that their Aluminum trailer was superior to the
galvanized one I had chosen. That "challenge" put a half dozen "issues"
directly on the table.
