Lots of solutions for different folks, but I very intentionally chose a boat with a full walk around. They are very out of style, because boats six foot smaller than me look like huge yachts inside compared to mine.

I don’t have thrusters, but would like one. But I’d sooner give up the thruster before the twin screws. But that’s largely because I know this boat so well and more importantly I can predict what I can and cannot do. Knowing confidently what you can do, is often more important than your skill level itself. The trick to single handing, is knowing how to stay out of situations that may get away from you.
