Bob and Suzy went shopping, shopping for a boat
"It must have form over function, it must do more than float!"
"It must have four hanging lockers - for all my nice new clothes,
A washer and a dryer, a microwave and stove!"

"It must have room for my stereo and speakers 4 by 4
Room for the bigscreen tv, my telescope and more!"
It's on this boat that we must fit all that we do own
At home we'll be, when we set to sea - my castle and a throne!"

"Oh Bobby dear, don't you fear that's there's room naught just for friends?"
"Three heads there'll be, to sit and pee and staterooms end to end!
And Suzy Q, just for you, to save you from sun and splash
A pilothouse, with windows large, and samite curtain sash!"

Bob and Suzy went looking, looking at the show
Every boat they inspected, topside and below!
"This cabinet is ill fitted, the carpet's much too green!
The berth's too short, the galley's wrong - the oven don't self clean!"

Robert,

Here's an excellent, affordable boat for you:

For some reason, whenever I see one I think of you.


With a 50 hp engine, it qualifies with "good light air performance."
With a SA/Disp of about 7, it needs something. Actually, being able
to power at 12 knots doesn't sound bad, as long as you don't confuse
this with a sailboat.
