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? http://tinyurl.com/27277t or http://www.scoutboats.com/models/185sportfish.html 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. -- John H 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. How is your son doing? Getting any letters from him? |

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. |
