i.e 2000 lbs vs about 1300 for the smaller boat.

What to do?

Get a real man's truck?

That's what I'm thinking, too. A full size Chevy 1500 4X4 will tow
10,000# and still get an unloaded 22 MPG on the Hwy.

Then you can get a real boat, too.

That seems like a big expense for a retired working class hero who
enjoys a short 4-5 month boating season..

Less than that.

Our harbour is ice free year round.

Dare you to put on Florida shorts and go swimming for 60 minutes in
Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr or May.....

No thermal wet suit tricks either.

Liberal-socialism is a great idea so long as the credit is good and

for it leave, they can all share having nothing.

Our salt water is probably at it's warmest in September... I could
easily do that... October might be a bit of work.
Are you saying you can do that in those frozen Alberta ponds you call
lakes?
