Default Re: Downsize?

Oldfielder,
I grew up making the Mount Sinai to Flax Pond run in my dad's 17' and my uncle's 18' boats, with runs out to Middleground once in a while, and we were always fine in those boats. And they weren't SeaCrafts, either! I keep asking myself that same question though; I love my 4Runner, it tows the 20' SeaCraft great, but it's really too small to be safe with the 23' boats. And, having lived and driven through the gas shortage in the 70's, I'm not sure I really need to buy a big truck that burns more gas so I came run a big boat that burns more gas. And takes up that much more driveway space....

And the 20s are sooooo easy to trailer.

Those 23s sure are sweet though! Especially that beautiful yellow Florence. I know I'll end up with a Sceptre or Tsunami at some point, and my dream SeaCraft would be a 23' Seafari (anyone else ever considered grafting one of these together ?)
