Sitka,

I will check out that area, also. Hunting is a top priority.

257Bob,

I don't intend on towing this much at all. It would only be taken out for service, storage, storms <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" /> , etc.... The marina could handle all of that if needed.

The size of the boat is a big consideration. I like a larger boat, but I am well aware of the adage "the bigger the boat, the less it is taken out." If the water is rough, no boat will really seem big enough. I just like a bigger boat for a smoother ride mainly.

The info has been fantastic. We went to visit North Padre Island and fell in love with it. We will probably buy a couple pieces of property down there as a hedge. Then we will start looking in the Puget Sound areas down to where Sitka was suggesting.

I think he is trying to push me further South, away from him. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
