Default Thoughts on this "Cruising Model"

Looks like it would be hard to make it work on Froggy's small boat.
Thanks, Scotty.

Lib - They don't even try to contribute to boat threads. *Jerks.


I gave brief consideration to electric bicycles but decided they are
not worth it. If I was 15 yrs younger, I'd seriously consider simply
using a road bicycle as I used to ride 40 miles without much thought
at all. At age 53, enough wrist and knee problems to preclude much
bicycle riding.
Yes, a 28' boat does not have much on-deck space for anything besides
a dinghy and I am looking into getting rid of that .


Have you thought of a Porta-bot type dinghy? You can build one in an afternoon
or two, with a couple of pieces of 6mm, some canvas, and some adhesives. A
typical folding boat can fold down to about 4" thick by say, 2' by 10' and can
lay right up against a wall or lay on a roof very easily. I think I have plans
for one somewhere...
