Thanks all for the welcome! I appreciate it.
As to knowing that I'm not in an Egg on salt water... yeah I know!
Back in the day, that Egg was a 27 ton wooden hull, with the topside all teak, twin 400 horse diesels, etc. Plus I was experiencing it durin gmy teen years, so I most probably have a distorted sense of what was reality!
I'm starting out with a 27 ft glass, single 300 hp outdrive.
