Jim, you can rant all you want, but yours is the a very restrictive
application for a compromised vessel. It's not a great sailing vessel; it's
not a great power boat. In fact, it kinda sucks at both.

All your efforts at supporting your boat must take away from your sail time.

Nothing to do with sailing? Sure it does, Capt. - If you can't get out to
the sailing area with time for sailing, and return in time to get guests
home in time to get to the opera or theater (or wherever), you can't go
sailing as often.
