Re: Who makes or made the best sea boat under 40'
Actually standing on the stern with no bulwarks could be a whole lot more fun (exciting).

Re: Who makes or made the best sea boat under 40'
If your referring to my mention of the Bluefin in my last post, I was referring to the Vega troller F/V Bluefin.

Re: Hull vs. line voltage
Lulu, will the addition of aluminum, in addition to your normal complement of zincs anodes, lead to the same result as over zincing the boat; especially the wood hulls?

I am a little concerned about material availability, but figure that there are sources that ship. Coffee invi...
