PS - Let me beat all of the assholes to the punch, while I am boatless, I have forgotten more than these morons ever knew. So if it wasn't for all of the right wing assholes, I would actually make some boating posts. since rec.boats is full of assholes, why bother. |

I'd rather have a nice Amesbury dory, 12' long, and weighing 300 pounds: http://www.stur-deeboat.com/dory.html I used to fish in one of these when they were built of wood. They are really solid, seaworthy little boats, easy to power, even rowable. Damned fine looking boats, too. Or ..if you want a real dory.... http://www.doryshop.com/the_dory.html That's a looker, for sure, but I like the Stur-Dees for several reasons, one of which is that the hulls are made of fiberglass these days. I don't mind a modest amount of wood trim on a boat, but an all wood boat? Too much maintenance. Lots of low maintenance wood dory's out there. They are glassed over. And dory's come in lots of sizes. I happen to like the Oregon Dory, which is still used a lot in the Northwest. http://www.google.com/images?q=orego...w=1575&bih=648 |

Since you never had three adults in your rowboat, how fast does she "fly" with just you at the "helm"? It's got to be good for 32 mph, eh? |
