When I want to enjoy a slow boat, I take the canoe out for a spin on the
river. Not only is it quieter than a GB RV, there's no exhaust smell,
you're down at the water's level, and you get a bit of decent exercise,
too.
Nothing wrong with that .... I often do the same with my Kayak. Only
difference is, I can carry the Kayak with me where ever I go, I can
return
to the GB and get dry when it starts to rain, cook up something to eat
and
catch a nice, afternoon nap in the aft cabin.

Try that in your canoe.

Ahh, I keep my canoe out at the Shenandoah, at a friend's little farm.
When I return from canoeing, I can warm up by the fire, cook anything I
please, and take a nap in the hammock on the screened porch, or crawl into
one of the beds.
Why does this make me think of Goldilocks and the three old bears?

Starring Harry as Goldilocks?

Sure would explain a lot. :)



I use my long blonde hair to tie myself to the cleats of those low-sided
Ranger bay boats, so that when we are broadsided by a 2' wave, I don't
get washed overboard.

Sure...she's been there. It's mostly a guy hangout, though, for
shootin', fishin', canoein', and for those who drink, drinkin'. I'm not
much into drinkin', though. In the past two years, we've entirely
filled up a 55-gallon drum with .22LR, 9 mm, 40S&W, .45ACP, and various
rifle brass. We had to start another barrel. Supposedly a local friend
is supposed to show up some day with a forklift and load the barrel onto
a truck so we can drive it to a metals dealer.

Speaking of Brut .... (I think it was Brut) .....

Did you hear about the guy that splashed it on his face, lit up a cigarette
and caught fire?
Apparently it remains "flammable" for a period of time after you first put
it on.

I think you need to do a little research. Look up hull design, and
check into primary and secondary stability and come back and talk
about the Parker VS Ranger hulls

Ranger used to make some stout sal****er boats. Roland Martin had one
and I got a ride on it once. But they dropped those boats. The new
Ranger bay boats look live everyone else's bay boats. I don't know the
specs of Tom's, as it apparently has been dropped from production.
"Stability" isn't under discussion here, anyway. We were talking ride
quality and dryness of ride.

That is exactly why you need to look up primary stability, Here is a
hint. Your boat has secondary stability, Tom's has primary...

No, but he gave me some terrific advice on bassfishing at Lake O, and
then hooked me up with a very good guide. We stayed at his marina,
bought some nice keepsakes from his wife in the gift shop, paid $2 each
for two dozen large shiners, and ate breakfast a few times in the
attached coffee shop, where Roland was serving coffee seconds. At that
time, Martin had a 25' Ranger with a small tower, plus an assortment of
other boats he kept on the site.

Roland Martin is a first-class guy. He'd probably let you book a room at
his marina, if he's still operating it. I'm sure they have at least one
room reserved for your kind. Of course, you might have to show a photo
ID...you'd best stay at home.

Oh...and sometime in the late 1950s, I don't remember exactly when, my
father and mother took a trip to a fancy resort where my father, cashing
in a "prize" he won as a boat dealer, got to dance with Frances
Langford. I saw an 8mm movie of it when they returned home.
