yea the spirit is a different boat. the one at yachtworld looks just like
the one im looking at except this one has a porta-potty. other than that ,
interior layout is the same. stove , ice box, same place. step down floor
etc. there isnt a housing for a swing keel or center board, so must be a
fixed keel. dont think depth will be a problem. a friend has a boat in the
same marina and theres 60' of water under his keel. lake mead goes from
shallow to way deep very shortly. the visitors slips are maybe 50 yards from
shore and ive seen some 35 foot plus sailboats parked there. thanks a lot
for all the help fellas. going to take a closer look this weekend, check the
bilge, etc. i did check the stanchions are rock solid, all of em. the boat
really does appear to be very sound. the owner moved from vegas to pahrump
and really doesnt have time for it anymore. hell , its probably 100 miles
from there to the lake. alan: lake mead is a pretty big lake. nothing like
the great lakes, but pretty good sized. think its the biggest man made lake
in the country, could be wrong. think powel has more shoreline cuz of all
the little fingers, but think mead is bigger in acreage. look up
boulder/hoover dam, thats lake mead behind it. anyway, once again thanks for
all the input and ill get back after i take a better look. best regards,
j.d.
