    Regarding Boat Selection

    Something the two of us could handle, around 200k. I can pay cash for it, not be broke and still have an income coming in to "live" on. Big enough for two people, small enough for one person to handle alone (for safety sake). Anything that is not capable of making the Bahamas is...

    Salutations

    Hello all, I'll be the residential new guy for a while. A little about me; I'm in my mid-40's, they call me Flak. I work as a Metrologist in coastal Alabama and enjoy the water and riding my Harleys. I am kind of new to boating in general, but I did have a small Catalina 25 for a few years...
