Nice looking boat! Did you find a used one or are you
buying new? Trailer? Wheel or tiller?
Did you sail one, how was it? Where are you going to keep
her? What's the towing weight?
I see the beam is 8'4'', that's good!
Can't wait to see her,

Scotty


Thanks Scotty (and everyone else for the congrats!) I'm high as a kite right
now and can't wait can't wait can't wait to get her in the water!

This boat is perfect for me, sound enough for some coastal adventures,
dainty enough for some serious gunkholing. Towing weight is somewhere around
6K, per the current owner (not verified). But I'm pulling with a Dodge Ram
2500, 5.9L so I'm not too worried. And, I'll probably keep it in a slip for
much of the season. While I have my father around, I'll probably keep it
near him (South Jersey shore). Eventually I'll replant in the Chessy. In the
meantime, I'll be dropping her in and feeling my way around in your waters.

Anyway, it's a 2004, here's the list of options provided:

Wheel steering
Lazy jack system
Trailer, galvanized steel, tandem axel, surge brakes

Maybe you should look at this:

For just a little more money you can get twice the boat. A swing keel is
an option. 2'7" draft.

Cheers,
Ellen

Congratulations. Great looking boat. I saw one sailing in St. Joe's
Bay last spring and it really looked good. Can't wait to get some
sailing reports. That's one that is on my short list. Based on what
you said you want to do, I think it may be perfect. I think it may be
a little too heavy for what I want to do.

Frank

I hadn't thought about it but that's a great idea Joe!

It needs a tractor/trailer. It's too wide to be legal on a regular little trailer.
But, you've got to admit it goes in some shallow places.

Ellen

I really liked that Shoalsailer that someone pointed out. I think it runs
200k+ though. Maybe in the next life!
Scout

Thanks Katy!
Time to re-up my supply of patches! To the sea, Batman!
