Re: [OMC-Boats] Finally - a Boat in WI

It sounds crazy. I'm not sure about a 17, but I'd want a 19 or 69-70 16. Why? The 64-68 16 is prone to submarining its bow any time its not on plane. Ask me how I and hundreds of others know. Also, the same holds for taking water over the transom. (Yeah, I know, that's what auto-bailers and bilge pumps are for.)

Hey - there's an endeavour of the sort usually thought up only by Brits in Pubs...cross the Atlantic in a Sportsman and deliver it to Jorgen. Problem is I can't think of who'd sponsor it...and of course it'd be running in salt water,,,,eeewwwww!
