GL: Defever 49 for Loop

[Mary Taylor & Ken Crowley]

Your obligations are not as limited as Jon on Valentine thinks.  The
Oswego Canal will put you in Lake Ontario then West to the Welland Canal
which dumps you into Lake Erie, don't forget to stop at Put In Bay/South
Bass Island, lots of fun there.  Done this too many times to count with
vessels as big as 82'.  Capt. Mimi

  Shay,

  That's an
  awfully large boat, hopefully you have crew to help handle it.
  One good rule
  is to get the smallest boat you can be comfortable on.

  I am
  considering a 49' Defever Pilothouse for my retirement boat and doing
  the
  great loop.  I would appreciate your thoughts on using 49' Defever
  Pilothouse
  for the great loop.  The boat has 4'6" draft, 15' beam, 17'
  bridge clearance,
  50,000 displacement with twin Lehman 135 enjoins.
