Real question is why do you care? I can see wondering what brand has what
features and capabilities, and especially which is most fun to sail, but why
fret over what *others* consider "low end"?

In general, sailing has little to do with brand names and other
consumerist claptrap.

Well, no, nice try, tho. It is NOT about what "quality" your boat is or how
much electronic crap you can accumulate even if you don't know how to use it -
all that lets you do is try to put another sailor down. Which for you IS what
its all about. Sad, really.

I have LESS electronics on my boat than most people here. Wanna test that and

My boat sucks electrons from the other boats moored around it. She's
like a black hole for electrons.

The lead line I use on occasion. The sounder only sees one spot, but if you're
on a mooring for a smaller boat in a tight spot, its handy to walk around with a
lead.

The log, a Walker Excelsior Mk II Yacht-log, stays in its box at home.

Nutsy,

How about the TV, VCR, DVD on your boat? Are they steam driven? Seem to
me they should be listed as electronic junk. How about all those
electric power tools you insisted awhile back as being necessary? Are
they still on board or weren't they ever there.

Yeah, I know; Different Troll, different lies!! Think you BUSTED
yourself by tripping over your own lies

Stupid Question about Stupid Boats
 

Scott,

For me to have a higher stern ladder than Nutsy, my boat has to be on
the "Hard" while he is tied up in his Mooring.

"Derelict" is by far the winner in that category. You don't even have to
open the envelope
