Regarding the last two posts...I can appreciate nobozo's words of caution.
If I interpret him correctly, I see it as a larger boat may give a false sense of security if conditions are worse, then a larger boat may lead on, due to its "slower" bobbing up and down and stability. Where a smaller craft will toss me around and give an earlier, tell tale warning to turn back, before I get deeper into a troubled situation. Thats how I interperate the "quicker reaction".

Ishoot308, I agree I would rather have the larger boat for saftey sake, but "the broads" is an area I have only heard people speak of, I have never been there. I may never venture that far, who knows. I definatly don't want to get into a boat I feel intimidated by it when I need to dock it or load it onto a trailer.

An embarrassing novice question....Why is every American made vehicle left hand drive, but boats are right hand drive, just wondering???
