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.

I thought you left coasters were the sensitve and caring type. I
guess
not.



We seem to attract all the hard heads here.
No surprise I guess when you consider who is upholding 'the law'! ( or
in
the current times.. not upholding)


Is that why you are here? Most people take a crap before leaving the
dock.
And if you are inland boating, there are trees and bushes along the
shoreline.


I doubt if either Jim or Don or any of their family/acquaintances are so
uncouth as to use a bucket, the water or a bush for such things. Some
folks
are quite pure of mind and body.

Perhaps, but more out of respect to my wife. I would not ask her to walk
through the water to take a crap in the woods, nor would I ask her to take a
**** in a bucket on the open deck of my boat.

Different strokes I guess.

The wife has decided. The Triumph is out of the question now. She
and I
both liked the Scout better. We'll be moving to NC in about a year
and a
half, and this looks to be easily towable to various lakes and the
ocean.
Any comments?

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

Well, we know you're a real winner, Jim. Sometimes a little prior planning
will work wonders.

When I had a porta potty in the boat, I gave the wife a choice. We could
leave it in, and it became her responsibility. Or we could take it out. It
came out quite soon, and was never put back in.

No, I've never had to tell someone to poop in their pants.

What about it?
I spent 3 nights and two full sailing days on my Sandpiper 565 at the first
of this month and was able to avoid using my MSD.
Trick...limiting intake controls outflow. Plus we spend two nights at a
municipal marina in Rousseau. the guy hosting the regatta had the key to
the public wahhrooms/showers and the in-between night was at his cottage.
Stragetic stops at a beach for a raftup afforded the opportunity to go
ashore for 'refreshment'.

Well, I beach the boat at times for picnics, exploring. Put the bow on the
beach, and climb onto the sand / rocks. My boat has fairly tall sides. 35"
from the chine.

It looks like a folding bucket. I hope you are not going to ask your
wife to use that.

John is sure concerned about your Mom. I would start getting worried about
his infatuation with her.
