In Response To: Nimble 20 Conversion (Jim Bailey)

Hi Jim, I hope that you will keep us informed as your sacrilege evolves (ooo- double whammy there!) Also, someone seems to have done this conversion with a Bay Hen, but I have not found their site. As my wife and I have got older, we have thought about the same transition -- work with the boat ya got. With a N24, we thought the transition could be made just by removing the tabernacle and covering the chain-plates. We sold instead, and started looking for a Kodiak with the same thoughts even more solidly in mind, since it HAS appeared as a switch hitter. Finally, a month ago, we have ended up with a Vagabond (which we considered as an option over 10 years ago.) Vagabond vs. Nomad was a matter of the art of the affordable. Trailer work has delayed her launch, but I hope this week will see her in the water. All the best. ~~~ __/)~~~ Rod
