Agree Slapshot re: lousy weather. I'm going down to Barrington CT to do a sea trial this spring. I want to see how that hull does on a nice 15-20kt quartering wind in 3-4 foot seas

The Sailfish does look like a good value and I don't really see a problem with the livewell in the 236 since it is set back (parallel to the swim platform on the port side.

By the way, no one answered my question about towing a boat with a 9 foot beam. In MA the max is 8.5'. Anyone know if that would every cause me a problem (legally speaking).

Thanks.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
