In Response To: The Dilemma (Scott, Seaward 23)

Do you intend to do?

When I bought my 25 the intent was to go around to as many lakes and rivers as I could. Well that year we had a bad drought. We ended up on the upper Chesapeake bay and haven't left. Maybe later in life but for now the bay provides plenty of boating thrills.

Also with the towing and set up time the 25 is not something to take to the lake set up sail for a few hours then take down and trailer somewhere else. The smaller the boat the easer it is to tow and set up. Pull the boat incase of huricanes.

With the 32 you would have to hire some one to tow it with a BIG truck or buy one yourself. Also as someone else said you would need permits to tow on the road because of width. Of course the 32 is a very nice boat lots of room and a nice galley, good head room.

The pic is Fairlee creek on the easter shore of the Chesapeake bay. The area im anchored in is perfect for the Seawards as the water depth is about 4' so it keeps the larger boats out. They stay in the deeper water in the back ground.
