Thanks Steve. I appreciate your insite to how the boat handles, and
especially the weight (2500lbs, v.s. the 1200 listed on the Hartley
site). I know there are newer designs, and unless Haretley has been
re-designed with stitch and glue, I can't see myself building one.

Seeing that I am looking at inland lakes, and not any ocean-sized bays
and inlets, I might stick to a 16' boat.


There are those who say that Mike Waller's Waller TS5.4 and TS540 are
some sort of logical modern follow-on from the Hartley TS16, although
not S&G AFAIK....
