[PUP] The Perfect Dinghy (for a Nordhavn 46)

[David Evans]

Douglas,

I have a 9' Boston Whaler with a 9.9 Mercury 4-stroke(silent running, the
blue heron doesn't take to flight as I approach the dock until the last
minuite). I put a nice seat up front and steer with an extention when I'm
alone and she planes really well. You can adjust the seats to best suit your
weight for trim. Of course, this is probably to heavy to lift onto the upper
deck. The Ranger Minto was a great sailing/rowing dingy. Probably superseded
by the Gig-Harbor or a Whitehall.

Bon Voyage,

David Evans
