Otherwise, I don't know much about these boats as I've only seen them from a

It didn't strike me as the kind of boat you would want to get exposed to any

The keel on this cranks up almost all the way into the hull.

I traded off a VW beetle engine so it was a good deal.

As I said it wouls be nice to beable to sail this late spring to
florida or so, mabe onto the bahamas just for a nice vacation where
getting there will be half the fun.

did I mention I don't like seafood so getting the boat ready might be
easier then to get me to eat dinners along the way...lol
