I gave brief consideration to electric bicycles but decided they are not worth it. If I was 15 yrs younger, I'd seriously consider simply using a road bicycle as I used to ride 40 miles without much thought at all. At age 53, enough wrist and knee problems to preclude much bicycle riding. Yes, a 28' boat does not have much on-deck space for anything besides a dinghy and I am looking into getting rid of that . Have you thought of a Porta-bot type dinghy? You can build one in an afternoon or two, with a couple of pieces of 6mm, some canvas, and some adhesives. A typical folding boat can fold down to about 4" thick by say, 2' by 10' and can lay right up against a wall or lay on a roof very easily. I think I have plans for one somewhere... Scotty First you suggest he carry a motorcycle that won't fit on his boat and would be difficult to get on and off of the boat, and now you suggest a 10' long chunkajunk that won't easily fit on his boat, either? D'oh. Tou came back from vacation meaner and uglier than before you left. Musta been some vacation. |

I have given serious consideration to a 10' Porta-bote and am about ready to order one. Being basically cheap, that $1500 price tag repels me. Making a folding dinghy is a possibility but will not happen anytime soon. |
