Well Bob, here you go!  I know you always wanted a Flicka:  https://norfolk.craigslist.org/boa/7560735749.html

Thank you! I'm not up for a project and honestly, I'm quite content with my little 23!

Let?s not mince words. The Flicka is slow and a Compac 23 would sail circles around it.

You can't stand up in a 23, nor do most have a marine head and diesel.

You need an open boat with a very tall boom to stand up!

Well PeterG and myself were chatting today and observed that Mr. Herrishoff once remarked that if you wished to stand up on a boat you should go to the cockpit. With that said it was the lack of standing headroom that prompted me to part with No Mas,a 23 with diesel and a marine head....maybe when I was younger and if I wished Susan to be aboard standing headroom it was!
