is a wonderful boat and would fit all of Roger's requirements for a boat. BUT, it will not fit into his towing requirements. The R-22 weighs in at about 3200 by itself. Then add gear and the trailer. He would have to trade up to a tow vehicle with a 5000# towing capacity for this boat. In my mind, certainly worth the trouble though. 'Course I'm not biased at all. I think even the C-22 might be pushing the envelope a little on a 3500# capacity car. Tod Mills, what does one of those M-17's weigh? That's a heck of a nice little boat. Might just be the one I'd want if I wanted to be one step smaller than my R-22. Rik
