[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 434960, member: 13140"] We are a different breed out West as I am learning. "Rugged individualism" comes to mind. You can yell for help on the water. I don't walk the dog without a PLB (personal locating beacon) for example. The West coast boats are built to last because that's what the market and competition demands. Next time an old Gregor pops up on your craigslist go look at it. OMG it's 100 times better built and designed than anything you have seen. They also fly and handle like on rails. Those are the 15 hp boats that you don't bat an eye at putting a 25 on. Heck the new 14'11" Smokercraft is USCG rated for a 35 hp tiller! If you want the lightest fastest coolest anything then look to California. Their politics suck but the folks and their gear is light years ahead of us. It's because it attracts the brightest minds and trillions of dollars they bring. A bus driver makes 100k there. [/QUOTE]
