OLDelkkchunt,

"Luckily" for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so you can contribute in the "firsthand". Laughing!

I've never been to Alaska,let alone on it's waters,as that's a touch too sporty for my sense of Adventure. I'll defer such splendors to your Imagination and it's Pretend,as you are very obviously steeped in same. Congratulations?!?

Top Heavy is SCARY stuff,even along The Milford. Laughing!

Just what you are doing is pretending that is a boat.
A POS boat is a POS boat can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, but you already knew that.
