yeah we've got the Ohio river but Tacking up a river just doesn't get it.

lake Erie is about a 4 hour drive for me but I lust about being nearer. Imagine being on a tack for over an hour

He said it cut through the waves better than any other small sailboat he ever had out there. He's got some great stories - losing a hunter 25 out there, and flipping a rented hobie cat and the mast getting stuck on the bottom - had to swim back to shore both times

I turtled a Hobie once too. Thank God it was in an inland lake. You talk about a project!! Try to get a mast out of bottom mud.

On the river, I'd think run the diesel til you hit the gulf. I wouldn't even want think about tacking the snipe on the river, much less a big boat.

Sure would like to stay and chat but I've got to go. This has been a nice welcome to a newbie.

Kenny, what about Lake Lurleen?
I've had a Snipe, an Atomic, & a 27' Hunter.....plus several stinkpots: 28' Chris Craft, 30' Broadwater, 33' Trojan & the usual runabouts - wood & fiberglass...think it might be time for a trawler

Trawler'd be nice too. I subscribe to wooden boat magazine. There was one last year in there that you'd love. 45' ex-russian-workboat converted to personal cruiser. Along with the original 200-300 cubic inch single cylinder diesel engine. Imagine that kathump kathump kathump while cruising along easily - ahhhh!
Oh, I haven't been to Lurleen since I was 12 years old - not too sure it's actually that big - I like to explore.

Yep, mine did also...that Hunter was a solid, easy sailing boat...friend wanted it & we didn't use it much...so, I can still go use it if I want
