The transom isn't open, but I'm hoping it will be pretty safe
anyway.
Nice boat. I like the proud sweep in the bow. I see a lot of boats
in
that size and configuration/function that would look so much nicer
with a little sweep like that in the bow. The last 20 footer I
lofted
out had a nice sweep like that..... Oh, and a motor well with the
18
inch bracket, 2 1/2 feet forward of the transom
I just really liked the looks of the Scout. And, I loved the way it
road.
We were only on the Potomac River, which was flat, but the boat
handled
nicely.

If the wife is thinking of grandkids visiting on the boat. 18' is
too small. I have a 21' and figure it is good for only 6 people
comfortably.

Also..........no privacy area for a porta potty. I doubt his wife
will be joining him on the boat.

I do not carry a porta potty on the boat. Bucket works well.
I guess I have more consideration for my wife than to tell her to sit
on a bucket in the open to do her business.
What do you do when you go camping, in the woods without the RV or the
cabin and without an outhouse? When in the woods everyone poops like the
bears. When on the water everyone poops like whales.


Really? Not me.


And if you need #2. head to shore.
Not always possible or practical. I do not expect to tell folks on my
boat.........tough luck, just crap in your pants.
Hang your ass over the side and ask everyone to look the other way.


You again defined yourself. What a joy it must be to boat with you.

You are sounding like a prissy bitch. I guess you don't **** on trees in
the woods either.




I am talking about my wife and guests.

Regardless, based on your comments you are at the same hygiene level as a
monkey.

Good choice! It is a locally made boat, too.... so, if you need
customer service you can walk in.

I have found over the years that the wife and family lose interest in
the boat
rather quickly. Couple of boats back I quit considering what they
wanted and bought the features that filled my needs. I like to boat
and to fish. Wife commented a couple of years ago that she was happy
that the kids were older and didn't need her to look after them on the
boat. Good boating to you and have a great day.

Ron


Well, I still have to be nice. She's the one working now, and keeping me in
the style to which I've grown accustomed. That includes golfing and
boating!

How is your son doing? Getting any letters from him?

Just the initial one telling us his company, batallion and platoon. Thanks
for asking. We are looking forward to hearing from him. We write to him
everyday.

He should be past the forming stage and into real training now. Don't be
suprised if you only get one or two letters from him the entire time he
is on the island.

My trailer isn't showing up in Norfolk until sometime tomorrow -
tuesday...and I plan to run down there Wednesday to pick it up. Are you
free Wednesday, or has school started?

I'm not sure I have your correct email addy on my laptop, which is what
I am using now...

Yeah... we're in full fledged back to school mode, now.

I'll send you my current email addys. The myworkshop one went off
line for a few days when we got clobbered by a thunderstorm. All of
the others should be working just fine....
