Scott,

Thanks for the comments. Your neutrality is deafening.

Jeff,

I hear ya and appreciate your decisiveness, but I'm stimied right now between the 2 choices. Tom thinks utility/versatility and I don't disagree. I like the looks/stainless perspective cause the boat is a class act and a tug boat rail will kinda spoil the effort.

You know, it also has alot to do with the driver of the boat and although I've had my crashes with the Carver (the sun was in my eyes), I'm otherwise pretty good with this size. This year, it looks like the prop may be in more danger due to projected low water on Lake Ontario (19" lower than last year). Oh, yea, icebergs too!

Thanks to all.

Otto
