Roy SchreyerA small boat has the advantage of not relying 100% on a motor! After my motor failed right after launching, I was able to make camp by sail and oars alone! Small boats can have huge advantages as they are able to continue when a largwer boat would need a tow company! All turned out well, our group has tallented members, Stan cleaned up the carb and the rest of the trip was a success! Thanks all! BestRoy
