Yup ... The interrelated nature of all specs on boats confounds things and makes no one simple answer easy. That said, my marine modeling...
Tom (Lathrop) ... One thing that I wanted to point out in your remarks above about the C-Dory "needing" more horsepower than the boats being...
Fire away! I love all the discussion! Brian

OK ...I like high tech but don't like spending $$$. The description by Viking North is close to what I will do I think (I'm taking the lines off...
