In Response To: 16'-22' Boat Suggestions? (Roger Notarian)

the C-model of the Santana 2023 is something to consider. Mine is the A-model which has less cabin headroom. For a look, goto: http://165.121.103.95/webcaptain/Index.htm It does have a forestay but not the backstay. It takes one person about 20-40 min to set up, (depending on how much you talk to other boaters at the ramp). Has 18" shallow draft, (swing keel to about 5 feet). Heel for any boat that size depends on your ability. My wife & daughter hate anything over 10 degrees and I can still reach 7 mph in 10 knots of wind. Over that is something I do when single handing or with a friend, (except by accident). Trailing weight depends on what you take along but generally is about 2500# w/trailer and OB motor. They're not commonly found but are out there. I have some listed on my web page. Sea you, George Norkus
