I was lusting over the 185 model but I would have had to climb up over it everytime I needed to move the lawnmower to the front or go back to my sheds.. Darn neighbours installed railway tie type planter boxes right to to their edge...then they got assigned to the west coast ( Navy). Now we hear they will probably list this spring, although the market is somewhat soft. There are some reasonably priced boatclubs in the extended area but I don't feel like driving 60 miles every time I want to see or use the boat.

Damn those neighbours for trying to keep you from encroaching on their
property.

That last was the big reason I got rid of mine. It got to where it would take over an
hour to get it and at least the same to return it to storage. Damn I-95!

I wouldn't use my boat or even have one if it was on a trailer

I had one in Md that just rotted in the yard.
The nearest marina was Ft Washington, then it was either Port Tobacco
or over on the bay and it was not enough boat for the bay.

On a trailer isn't bad at all if the trailer is handy. Hooking up is a two minute
job, and with a boat that size, trailer maintenance is very easy.

....and there are two free public ramps that I could walk to and a couple more within a 18 minute drive.
If you talk about a 30 minute drive you can add maybe four more. Some are iffy at low tide and some don't have a raft next to launch ramp. If you don't mind paying you can add even more at the local yacht clubs.
Anyway, it's official...I signed on the dotted line. Maybe the spirit of Skipper can look out for me.

Enjoy.
I know this is another AMF thing but my ex has a Bayliner (32') and
she seems to like it.

Skipper loved his. I don't know why Harry thought of it as an inferior boat.

Congrats!

Ah, Skipper...about the only right-winger who ever posted here who
actually could turn a phrase, write decently and tell interesting tales
about his boating "adventures."
