what I never understand is why beginner's buy a big boat first instead of going up the ladder in an organized fashion, learning along the way...I know that that takes time and energy, buying and selling boats, but they could lease with another couple or something...buying "the" boat first just creates unnecesarry angst and often destroys the desire... katy, I agree completely. Anyone with your sort of experience knows "how to do it". But many people unfortunately, don't know "how to do it" and end up with more boat than they can handle. The outcome is either hilarious or tragic. |

Seahag Haggie, these were very loose. How would you recommend they be adjusted? I'd welcome your opinion. |
