Default Getting a little boat

I decided I want a little boat to go with my 26 footer. Something I can use on days that I stay in the bay, do a little inshore fishing and take the kids tubing. Here's a pic.



Some of the boaters from down south will probably know the name. You don;t see many Cape Horns up my way. I was surprised to find one nearby.

No one will ever accuse you of being afloat without a boat

I thought for sure you were going to pick up a pumpkin boat







FTR Nice boat, enjoy!

stinkpot? there's no Yanmar diesel in there. That's a stinkpot. Ask any sailor.

Nice. That looks like the Swiss Army knife of boats.

Yup, you sure could. I might be a bit heavy though.

Long long ago, I water skied behind a small Boston Whaler. It didn't have much power at all. One of the guys there was a pretty big guy and the boat could pull him too. He knew how to get up on the skis.

Another big guy tried, but he didn't know how to get up out of the water, and the boat could barely drag him.

Last time I water skied, I was getting on a plane the next day. BAD idea. Was a bit stiff that morning.

Enjoy the little boat, Bill
