That's a bit north of Helsinki, Finland.
Man, this low transom issue is becoming an international furor.

Did you look at the photos he posted? The boat is just this side of
decrepit, and the reason water coming in can get to the battery is
because someone removed the hatch that covers the opening in the deck.
He'll fit in well here with the rest of the inlanders.


I looked. Lotsa old crappy boats out there.
You do know I was joking?
Probably the Finn was joining in the fun, but I'm not up on Finns and
their humor.
For the record, I'm not an experienced boater, but given your
experience and your comments I have no trouble with your low transom,
and I think Tom's is even lower.

Harry is more experienced than anyone else in rec.boats. You can't go wrong
trusting whatever he says, no matter what the topic is.
