It's nice, but a little small for my needs. I really need to sleep more than 17 guests on most of my outings. I'll have to pass on this one, but keep me posted if you spot a nice 120 at a good price.

Have any of you guys had any experience pro or con with the Cummins 250 hp turbo diesel? About how much Sta-Bil needed per 200 gallon tank of fuel? If the Cummins craps out, is there a bracket on the transom for an outboard motor?

   The main problem I see is that many guests tend to drink all the cold beer aboard and do very little work.

What do you guys think?  Will my Honda be able to tow it.  ;D


Honda car or Honda motorcycle?  Maybe a Gold Wing but you'll need an aftermarket hitch.   :)

Bob is right, those pesky 50 guests will soon get on your nerves once they clog the head, scratch the mahogany and drink the last bottle of your favorite aged Agave.

Yeah, I think your Honda will pull it. You are talking about this Honda, right?  ;D

I just checked and my Honda Element is only rated at towing 1500 lbs. Oh well I have a hard enough time to get one person to go sailing with me now. I am not sure I can convince 17 then again if there is free booze involved you never know.  I also asked the wife if we could buy it and now I am sleeping in my cp19 tonight  :D
