I thought I'd need more power and was very nervous about selecting a repower engine too small. Surprised to find my final selection (37hp) was not only adequate but about 7hp in excess of what was really needed. I could have done everything I've done w 7hp less. A surprise to be sure.

Thought 6 knots would be such a drag I'd want to sell in a few years. Rarely does the slow speed make me want a faster boat.

I thought Willy would be a very wet boat but pleasantly surprised to find her very dry. Probably has a lot to do w the 6 knot feature.


High Wire I'm envious of your davits but refuse to rent a bigger slip.
