I wonder if the tens of thousands who have gone to sea in Lowell's
dories and skiffs know that because of their low transoms, the boats are
far too dangerous to use on unprotected waterways such as lake lanier.

Those that didn't survive aren't here to tell us. :-)

Gee, is that true for every style of boat?

We'll never know.

BTW .... I am seriously considering the purchase of a new, small (very)
boat. I've seen several of the new Boston Whaler 13' "Sport" boats around
with the Merc 40 hp 4 stroke and it kinda has caught my attention for
limited, harbor only use. And, oh-my-god, it has an *open* transom!
