I think that what they are "retooling for" is an inboard rather than an outboard, and will have to be designed for a dedicated boat. I think that they want to sell complete boats and are abandoning the repower market.

I was maintenance man at a Girl Scout camp Age 16 thr 20---" Bob when you write your autobiography---which you should do---that job should get at least a chapter!

I can beat that, Marco! When I started my business I worked very hard, for no pay at all. Then, after a few years of solid growth, we hit the Great Recession, where I worked even harder while losing money every day that I was open. Working for negative income makes minimum wage look very attractive!

Jay, sorry if I missed it there, but have you tried getting on plane with a single 60, and if so, any difference from your 40s?

I would want two of them.

That 18 seems to me to be a good size, roomier and more stable than the 16s but not nearly as heavy as the 19. But I have no idea what is profitable to be built and sold these days. So glad that it sold so I won't be tempted anymore!

Congrats on a very cool boat!

Very cool, John. We also hated our clear enclosure camperback, but I believe that those breathable panels would make all the difference. I like the privacy aspect, too. Great job.

jennykatz, thanks for the answer. That's a real nice speed to stay on plane. I imagine that Venture hull is good for that with it's extra fullness to the stern.

Foggy, you know damn well that some boat designs have to plane at least in the mid 20s, some low 20s, some high teens. Can any go lower? That was the question. Yet for asking a question--on a boating forum--- about how other people's boats perform at what speeds, I am a "rotten apple" engaging...

Is "plowing" staying on plane? My question was to slowest *effective* speed, without plowing.

We usually ran our C-25 around 15 to 18 mph and liked it there. Dropping down into the lower teens it became difficult for me to tell when off plane other than watching the growing size of the wake. Curious how slow other models can stay on plane?

Did the Classic tend to have a wet cockpit?

Colby, I read it, understand it, and it was pretty much what I said. Flattening the curve is not reducing the number of total cases, it is spreading them out over time. That is not just my take on it, that is the consensus view. The goal is to not overwhelm the medical facilities by having...

We do not know if the Swedish total will be proportionally higher than here or other nations------in the long run. It may just be that some are dying sooner rather than later. The only benefits to social distancing are to flatten the curve, which does not reduce the totals but only spreads...

Bob, I have come to the gloomy conclusion that all of the sanitation and social distancing efforts can accomplish is to slow the spread, but like the flu, this is here now and that everyone will be exposed sooner or later. And, like the flu, some will die from it every year. I would assume that...

If so that is one hell of a price cut!

John and Vicki, that was great, loved it. Is that original?

I never had any interactions with Les but I followed along the Marinaut story with interest and was most impressed with how much he wanted to get every little thing RIGHT He was passionate about what he was doing and I loved that about him. Les, I will raise a toast to you tonight.
