I think you're mistaking me for Johnny.



Sailing is my game but I boat with an infernal combustion engine to please the wife.



Now that I have a suitable tow vehicle, my next boat will be a bit more appropriate for the North Atlantic.







Your Highlander can't tow a boat appropriate for the North Atlantic,



Don. Join a boat club - if they have any.



Duh Ditzy,

here's an example of boats I could tow that would be suitable for my local waters...if not the open Atlantic.

BTW the oldest yacht club in North America is here in my home town. Sailed out of it for a number of years. The whole idea of a trailered boat is to enjoy various bodies of water and of course to avoid expensive club fees.

I like the 19' Walk through but my brother-in-law has the 19' Cuddy Cabin.







You are a glutton for punishment, Don. I have no idea why you exchange

communications with the right-wing trashboys.

I'm trying to do my part to beautify 'merica but it does seem to be a losing cause.

Be honest, Don. You're trying to learn something. There's no shame in that.

It does look nice, and the high freeboard at the bow is a step in the

right direction. If I were boating where Don is however, I'd want

something a tad bigger with a sharp entry forward and deep-Vee hull,

maybe something like a Grady-White 24. G-Ws are designed to handle

rough conditions and have good reputations.

There is also a Canadian boat called a Campion that has a good

reputation:

To trade up to that and a tow rig to haul it would take a good size chunk out of the boy's inheritance money.
Then we still have the short 4-5 month boating season

Doesn't the 'boy' have a job yet?

Why would they recommend 50-90HP for a boat that size? It should be
able to handle a 150 or better. I'd be concerned about the build quality.

It's surprising. My 18' Key West loved that 150 Yamaha.
