(Not sure what this has to do with horseboats?)
Hey MN:
Seems a lot of us are "seriously" getting older. My kayak is hard to get in and out of....I know what you mean! A friend just picked up one of these (see link) at Paraphanalia in Meredith and it is really nice. Only 39 lbs, very stable and an extra large cockpit! Just what you need.
