I don't think I have to participate in this.

However, I have canoed a lot.. "J stroke, J stroke":D

Let's see. Two 13' wood kayaks, one 17' aluminum canoe, one 8' wood dinghy tender (no sail rig yet), one 22' fiberglass sailboat, one 24' wood powerboat, one 13' wood power runabout and one 15' 8" ply lapstrake cat ketch in build. No steel or concrete boats though.

Some call them blow boats and bubba boats,

I 'm not allowed to get mad at any group except jet ski's.

Spent the past 29 years sailing and have only recently begun to get into powerboats. Am I sick or is this just a normal progression ? :)

Surveys show that stinkpotters are less likely to respond to polls

Don't worry, they will post and say they have been disenfranchized. At least this poll has no hanging chads. That seems to be going on in the bilge at the moment.:rolleyes:

Power requires a responsible and reasoned response.

These days you would have to be Bill Gates to buy fuel for a power boat.

SWMBO swears I'm a stinkpotter and I'd have to agree but I'd be just as happy on a sailboat.
1961 16' Lyman Outboard Runabout.
I have a canoe as well.
Tubing is under rated.

Mostly sail, but power boat are great for getting out to dive sites and back again. I like OPBs for powerboats.

Well, this is getting silly, but OK! Your place or mine? Easier here I guess; Rita's tough to trailer! And, we'll need a place to celebrate my victory, as we have a 1000 mile range. :D:p OK, only 350 at 12 knots.
