This is great. Yukon Peter finds a Whaler site and asks about what Whaler works well in the PNW. He is thinking about downsizing from a 22 foot boat he has now. If it was a Bayliner, or some sort of 22 foot "lake boat" as I call them, we would have no trouble recommending a Whaler. But nooo, he has a SeaSport. Well, at least we are honest in pointing out that he has a fine Puget Sound boat now. You can take the SeaSport out for a day of fun and then put it back on the trailer and sleep in you own bed. You can also spend the night in a nice quiet little bay out in the islands with the SeaSport. You can take a Montauk out for the day, but spending the night out in the islands is a whole different ball game. You really need to be honest with how you use a boat. If you would use a smaller boat more often, get one. The only way you can justify owning a boat is to use it. I got rid of my overnight boat when I had a young family. Now I am trying to get back into the overnight mode and I find the Revenge 22 is just not set up for it and I am envious of Yukon Peter's SeaSport. Luckily, what I really want is the SeaSport Explorer, so I will not be badgering Yukon Peter to sell me his 22 at a highly discounted price. John
