Seems like a neat little boat. I think I can change the object of my desire from the Precision 18 to the Sage 17. The other good thing, is that I don't mind the faux lapstrake in person, whereas I wasn't sure from pictures. She seems well laid out. And just pullable with my Subaru's tow rating. Time to start saving up, I guess. All you rich guys start buying them, so there's a used market in a couple years for me to get in! Brian
