Sunchaser, again, great input. Thank you.

As for being reluctant to walk the docks at the Seattle Boat Show, the very opposite is true. We've set aside the coming week to do just that, if we can get there. Beyond the time and the 1,100 mile round trip, the biggest impediment to such a journey at this time of the year is the weather. With January roads through northern Montana, Idaho, and Washington and two major passes to traverse in the process, getting from here to there on any given day can be an "iffy" proposition. Snow is in the forecast for the day we leave and who knows what even the major highways will look like, but we'll get there sooner or later. We know a couple of brokers that will walk us through a lot of our questions and concerns -- and try to sell us their boats! -- but mainly the docks at the Seattle Boat Show are populated by new or later model vessels that don't put us quite where we want to be. Anyway, we'll see.
