GL: compiled list of boats & shows

[Treadnwater at aol.com]

We completed the loop last year in a 455 Cruiser Yacht, but saw everything  
from a jet ski to 60 sail boats. Trawlers made up 60-70% of the boats and  seem 
to average 8 kts. With fuel prices high, probably the best choice.  Sailboats 
don't seem to work well since there is a lot of river and inter  coastal 
cruising...and bridges.
I would recommend what you choose keep to keep the air clearance under 15"  
and the draft less than 4'. This reduces wait time and prop repair.
The final choice depends on luxury, budget, and past boating  experience.
