I do my exploring under sail! Ha Ha. Seriously I really sail all the time. I hope Thats what I enjoy most, working up into tight places under sail alone. I use to not have the option of a motoring and I hope I don't motor more just because I have it. Motoring takes a lot of fun out of it for me. Sure I've had to go to alternate anchorages and ran aground a few times but it's the challenge I like. I'll Probably carry an extrnal tank if I'm going to be overnighting or if I have to work the next day, but I really just need the motor as a back-up and if I
have to get back and can't tack against the current. My slip is really easy to get into and out of, I could easily sail into it. It's not a T-head, I'm on the inside of all the T-heads on a long dock.
I;'m not discounting the fact that one day I may be in a real slip, thats one reason I want the motor. Docking with a crosswind and a ripping current can be a pain.
So far I think I'm leaning toward the 25" 6hp internal tank model that's about to come out. I appreciate the input. Brandon
