But if you are talking to your Wife, "anything under 26 feet is just

Tell her I told you and that I am an unimpeachable source.

Actually, Gary has no idea what he is talking about and I think there
is some Coast Guard regulation requiring greater than 32.35 feet.
Also, common decency requires a head, really large berth(playpen for
you landlubbers), and shower. Fishing amenities are a requirement as
is a large cooler and/or wet bar.

Your greatest hurdle, at this point, is explaining to her that "this
much is a foot" does not apply to marine appurtenances....

I agree Gene. We have no idea of the *type*of boating he plans. (can you
elaborate David?) So for one to say that anything less than a 26 footer
for use on the ocean is a bit absurd.


I think the 'under 26 feet' remark was supposed to be a joke. At least, that's
the way I took it!
