I realized my selfishness in watching the news of the moment compelled

I should move the TV so I can't see/hear it from the computer.
Nah.
We all know off-topic stuff is frowned upon here, so I'll try to make
amends with this on-topic post.
What's boat would you like to have, other than the one you currently
own? But only what you can afford.
What do you think of O'hara's Tolman?
Could O'hara and Eisboch pool their resources and invent a new boat?
Ever want to build your own boat? (Don't answer, Scotty)
Anybody here actually fish from a canoe?

Ok, that's enough for now.

I fish from a canoe all the time - it is a magnificent trolling vessel,
quiet, slow, maneuverable - and lots of fun if you happen to tie into a
lunker smallmouth, who can take you for a Nantucket sleigh ride. There
are limitations - casting from a kneeling position is limited, and after
several hours one becomes somewhat stiff (watching me roll out of the
canoe onto a dock and then trying to stand is one of the comic
highlights of the week), but by and large I love fishing from a canoe.
Three inch draft is also a plus sometimes.
