I'd suggest hiring somebody to help you get up to speed in the
handling department. Did you place it for charter with ABC? If so, I
know they have some suitable trainers available.

www.chartersnw.com which recently merged with ABC. The co-owner,
Capt. Bill, is the one who trained us. It took all his experience
plus 4 hands to get if off the guest dock.

In LaConner, it can take all of that muscle, experience, and then some
when the current is running!

I usually stop there for gas on my way to Lopez Is. and even with a 14'
that's as maneuverable as a single outboard can be, it sometimes takes
me two or three attempts to land and one very fast and often
hair-raising attempt to leave.


If you go to the link, our Carver is "She Said Yes"

Looks comfortable!
