I was wondering if somehow we could have a thread devoted soley to the 14 & 16 footers. Oldgrowth Dave estimates that there are between 80 and 100 boats of this size registered as C-Brats. So many of our questions and issues seem to be size-related (never mind with the wise cracks), it would be nice to have our own little home. It can be a little offputting wading through a bunch of stuff peculiar to the big technically complicated boats just to find out answers that relate only to our little boats. Also, sometimes we might make the big guys feel bad with our ease of handling, and our great mileage, and the fact that we can store our boats in the spare bedroom. On the otherhand they may not be interested in our problems, like what size oar do you carry for emergency. Just a thought. Thanks
